At JetBrains, code is our passion. Since 2000, we’ve been dedicated to creating some of the most effective developer tools in the world. Our products automate routine checks and corrections, speeding up production and freeing developers to focus on growth, discovery, and creation.

We are currently looking for a Sales Excellence Manager (Business Partner) to join our new department.

The Business Partner Team

This brand-new team focuses on driving sales excellence through best practices, KPI management, and operational support across the entire sales process. Our broad scope includes:

• Leading sales discipline and performance

• Supporting CRM and data hygiene standards

• Enabling accurate forecasting

• Partnering closely with Sales to accelerate revenue growth

We are looking for a proven Business Partner who can own KPI management, support end-to-end sales processes, and ensure the highest standards of CRM hygiene and data quality. From day one, you will work cross-functionally and collaborate with sales leaders, becoming a trusted partner for a dedicated sales segment or product line.

What You'll Be Responsible For:

• KPI & Performance Management: Develop and continuously improve the KPI framework for sales teams, including performance analysis and efficiency tracking across all sales roles (including unmanaged sales).

• Goal Setting & Incentives: Manage the end-to-end goal-setting process, from initial KPI definition to final incentive payout.

• Sales Excellence Metrics: Develop and monitor key metrics such as pipeline quality, win–loss analysis, and CRM hygiene.

• Operational Support: Support SLA-driven processes such as lead uploads and data delivery for Sales initiatives.

• Forecasting & Reporting: Manage and improve sales forecasting accuracy in close collaboration with sales leaders. Prepare regular reports to track progress against plans and goals.

• Strategic Partnership: Partner closely with commercial unit leaders to support critical business decision-making.

• Process Improvement: Dive into day-to-day sales operations to proactively identify issues, refine processes, and provide relevant data support.

We're Looking for Candidates Who Have:

• Experience: Proven experience in KPI development, performance management, sales analytics, or Sales Operations.

• Technical Skills:

  • Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience in SQL.

  • Advanced Excel skills (functions, pivot tables).

• Mindset: A structured, logical approach to problem-solving, with a proactive, ownership-driven, and outcome-focused mindset.

• Education: A bachelor’s degree or higher, preferably in economics, finance, mathematics, IT, or management.

• Language: Professional proficiency in English (B1/B2 or higher).

It Would Be a Plus If You Have:

• Experience working with CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce) and improving data quality and hygiene.

• Experience setting up, supporting, or optimizing business and sales processes.

• Experience working closely with Sales, SDR, or Revenue teams.

#LI-HYBRID 

We're building an AI copilot for web testing automation. It enables manual and automation QA engineers to turn their manual testing flows into production-ready automated E2E testing scripts, saving hours of manual work and coding. We are a small team with zero bureaucracy, focusing on real users. We optimize for shipping value - not hype.

About the role:

You'll own the top of the funnel: outbound, qualification, and getting leads to sit down for a conversation. Demos, onboarding, and retention are staying with the founder for now.

Phase one: Get individual Automation QAs to try the product, aiming for fast adoption and no procurement. Once we hit 20+ weekly users, we’ll move on to phase two, where we’ll shift the focus to B2B – qualified meetings with QA Leads and Engineering Managers.

Your focus in the first three months:

• Build targeted lists: Automation QAs at companies with web products and Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium in their stack.
• Run outbound sequences (LinkedIn is the baseline, but you decide the channels). A/B test weekly.
• Design qualification gates (forms and scoring) to filter leads before the founder calls.
• Reach 20+ weekly active users after month one – ICP-qualified and giving direct feedback to engineering.
• Document what works into a repeatable playbook.

Growth path:

This role expands as your strategies deliver results. Once the user pipeline works, you can take over demos and run B2B sales end to end. From there, the natural next step is Growth Lead (funnel optimization and scaling the playbook) or Account Executive (owning deal execution).

Why to join:

• You'll be building a strategy that scales the product, not filling a quota. What you create from scratch becomes the foundation.
• Your outreach turns into users who talk directly to engineering, and their feedback ships as features within days.
• AI for developer tools is a market with real pull, and QA automation is one of its sharpest pain points.
• We’re backed by JetBrains – financially secure with no reliance on external VC funding.

Who we're looking for:

You should have a high level of agency and be quant-minded – you live in funnel metrics, run experiments, and are comfortable saying "no" to leads that are a bad fit. 

The ideal candidate will:

• Have done 0-to-1 outbound for an early-stage devtool, QA tool, infrastructure product, or similar.
• Have proven cold outbound results, instead of being dependent on warm inbound.
• Be able to talk credibly about flaky tests, CI pain, and Playwright vs. Cypress. You don't need to be an engineer, but you do need domain empathy.
• Possess strong written communication skills, with the ability to craft short, sharp messages that get replies.

Nice to have:

• A QA or SDET background – you've felt the pain yourself before moving to sales or BD.
• Exposure to security/compliance objections – enough to pre-empt and route.
• Content skills – your LinkedIn posts get engagement, not just your DMs.
• Experience as one of the first 10 employees at a startup.
