About the Position

Early stage companies can benefit from a wide range of support and services as they grow. At MaRS, we broadly group these around talent, capital and customers. This role focuses on the revenue generation work that comes with customer acquisition and growth. Many MaRS ventures are at the early revenue-ready stage but struggle with achieving their growth rate potential—they have product-market fit signals and early traction but lack the repeatable engine to scale customer revenue.

As the Senior Manager, Revenue Program, you are the architect of a program that helps founders create a go-to-market machine that defines segmentation, focus, marketing, and a lead generation and sales process anchored around achieving customer success. You will finish the design, launch, and lead a structured pathway that helps MaRS ventures transition from founder-led sales to predictable revenue. Your goal is to move beyond "advice" to create measurable "Sales Tombstones"—proven ARR growth and enterprise wins directly attributable to this program.

This is a 1-year fixed term contract.

Key Responsibilities

• Program Architecture & Launch: Finalize the end-to-end design of the Revenue Sprint, including applicant criteria, program deliverables, metrics & tracking, resources deployed, and relevant timelines.
• Diagnostic Leadership: Manage the Revenue Maturity Assessment process, acting as the lead analyst to identify high-risk gaps in a venture’s strategy, operations, and sales methodology.
• Cohort Management: Lead the "Venture Duo" (CEO and Revenue Leader) through intensive workshops on ICP definition, pilot conversion, and multi-stakeholder enterprise selling.
  
• GTM Collaboration: Recruit and collaborate with a group of seasoned operators and advisors to provide hands-on coaching and technical GTM feedback.
  
• Ecosystem Integration: Develop engagement plans that leverage services and resources delivered by other MaRS teams, such as MaRS’ Market Intelligence TAM and LeadGen reports.
  
• Data Stewardship: Enforce the "Data Sharing Compact," ensuring ventures consistently report on pipeline velocity, win rates, and NRR using the MaRS GTM Metrics Template.
  
• Strategic Showcasing: Partner with the Corporate Innovation team to execute MaRS Sessions, connecting cohort participants with relevant corporate buyers and partners.
  

Qualifications

• Undergraduate/Bachelor’s degree or relevant experience (focus in business, finance, science, technology and/or environment an asset)

• Knowledge of key challenges and opportunities for high-growth, science and tech-based companies

• Strong communication skills – oral, written and presentation skills
• Superior interpersonal skills and demonstrated relationship management ability (collaborator and convenor)
