About GitHub

GitHub is the world’s leading platform for agentic software development — powered by Copilot to build, scale, and deliver secure software. Over 180 million developers, including more than 90% of the Fortune 100 companies, use GitHub to collaborate, and more than 77,000 organizations have adopted GitHub Copilot.

Overview

GitHub is the home for all developers. Our Revenue Strategy and Planning team shapes how GitHub goes to market and turns growth ambition into a plan sellers can execute.

As a Revenue Planning Analyst, you will strategize and implement the decisions behind how GitHub covers its customers — account segmentation, coverage, and territory creation — as part of its biannual planning cycles. Your value is in judgment: defining the criteria, weighing implications for customers, sellers, and the business, and knowing when to hold the line and when to make an exception. You will also own the account-level work that makes a plan real, across thousands of accounts and hundreds of millions in ARR.

You will join as GitHub's revenue shifts from seats to consumption and AI products like GitHub Copilot — raising new questions about how the company segments, covers, and measures customers — on an AI-first planning team.

Responsibilities

Segmentation and Coverage Strategy

• Define and apply segmentation criteria — potential, ARR, usage and consumption signals, product mix, and complexity — and test thresholds before they go live.

• Evaluate coverage models and define roles, ownership, and crediting around the customer, including how to cover new products such as GitHub Copilot.

• Diagnose whether growth gaps stem from seller capacity or coverage design, and recommend options.

Territory and Account Planning

• Create balanced territories using account load, ARR, potential, whitespace, and pipeline, weighing balance against customer continuity and seller ramp.

• Partner with the Territory Planning Lead on the semiannual handover cycle, and own account assignment, account-movement analytics, and execution for your segments, with no ARR dropped or double-counted.

• Own first-line handover and coverage disputes: apply rules of engagement and precedent, decide when an exception is warranted, document the decision, and escalate non-precedent cases with a recommendation.

• Measure how territories and coverage are performing, and use the results to sharpen the next set of decisions.

Account Operations and Data Integrity

• Own routine Salesforce account segment, parent, and hierarchy reviews end to end: research, evidence validation, decision documentation, and queue management.

• Maintain segmentation thresholds, rules of engagement, and managed-book criteria, and recommend changes when they no longer fit the business.

• Serve as the operational owner of territory planning in Salesforce SPM, and protect account hierarchy and data quality across the system of record.

Decision-Making, Communication, and Influence

• Frame ambiguous go-to-market questions, test options with scenario analysis alongside Data Science and Finance partners, and bring clear recommendations with trade-offs, implications, and decision criteria.

• Present recommendations to Sales and go-to-market leadership, build alignment across Sales, Finance, and Compensation, and own formal communication of segmentation and territory decisions to the field.

• Use AI to improve the speed and quality of planning decisions while keeping human judgment and data security at the center.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

- Five or more years of experience in sales operations, project management, analytics, compensation, sales performance analytics, finance/business analysis, process improvement, business development, customer success, finance, marketing operations, or a related field.

OR

- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Finance, Sales, Accounting, Information Systems, Social Sciences, or a related field, plus three or more years of relevant experience.

OR

• Equivalent experience.

• Three or more years of experience strategizing and implementing account segmentation, territory creation, and quota formation as part of an annual planning cycle, ideally across a large account base in a B2B sales organization with multiple segments and regions.

• Three or more years of experience applying go-to-market coverage models, segmentation, territory design, and rules of engagement to shape customer coverage and seller behavior.

• Three or more years of experience with Salesforce account data, including hierarchies, ownership, and segmentation.

• Analytical self-sufficiency with large account datasets in spreadsheets or business intelligence tools, and hands-on use of AI tools such as GitHub Copilot in day-to-day work.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience redesigning segmentation or coverage during a go-to-market change.

• Experience with consumption or usage-based revenue models and how they change segmentation, coverage, and quota.

• Experience with SPM or territory management tools.

• Track record of making go-to-market planning decisions — such as segment thresholds, account assignments, territory design, or coverage changes — and explaining the reasoning and trade-offs to Sales leaders.

• Ability to influence Sales leaders and cross-functional partners without authority, and to hold a well-reasoned position under pressure.
