🏢 About Overstory
Overstory uses real-time satellite data to combat climate change by reducing wildfire risk and improving grid reliability. This mission-driven company offers the unique opportunity to apply revenue operations expertise to a high-impact environmental cause, working at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and critical infrastructure.
About This Role
As Senior Manager of Revenue Operations at Overstory, you'll build and scale the commercial engine across marketing, sales, and customer success to drive predictable growth. This role is impactful because you'll directly enable the company's mission by optimizing revenue systems that support selling satellite data solutions to utilities and regulated industries.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve configuring HubSpot workflows for utility lead routing, analyzing pipeline coverage metrics with sales leadership, and collaborating with marketing on ABM campaigns for energy sector accounts. You'd spend time optimizing revenue processes while ensuring systems support Overstory's mission-driven growth in climate technology.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Overstory Is Looking For

- Analytical problem-solver who can design systems that accelerate revenue while aligning sales, marketing, customer success, and finance teams
- Strategic thinker who understands account-based or sales-led growth models and can optimize processes for scaling climate tech solutions
📝 Tips for Applying to Overstory
