THE CHALLENGE

As Strategic Finance Manager, Commercial Planning you will play a critical role in shaping Sportradar’s commercial strategy. This is a high‑impact position at the intersection of analytics, strategy, and execution, where your work directly informs go‑to‑market decisions, revenue forecasts, and investment priorities.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving ambiguous problems, building scalable analytics from the ground up, and partnering closely with commercial leaders to drive growth.

• Define and maintain pipeline health metrics, customer health scores, and forecasting methodologies that reflect real-world business dynamics
• Build scalable models for account planning, territory and segmentation design, quota setting, and compensation design
• Serve as the primary Revenue Operations (RevOps) partner to Finance during the annual planning cycle — aligning revenue targets, headcount assumptions, and GTM investment with financial models and board-level plans
• Own the operational inputs to the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) — including quota rollup, attainment modeling, and revenue bridge construction across new business, expansion, and renewal streams
• Build and maintain dynamic capacity models that inform GTM headcount decisions — factoring in ramp curves, productivity benchmarks, attrition assumptions, and growth

• Strong track record of building and owning complex forecasting or revenue models.
