Digital-first companies like Spotify thrive on data. And in the world of media and advertising, sales operations leaders must navigate shifting buyer preferences, regulatory changes, and the increasing role of AI - all while ensuring their teams are aligned for revenue success. Wade Jastremski, Head of Revenue Management & Forecasting at Spotify , sat down with us on The Sales Compensation Show to take you behind the scenes of one of the world’s most influential media platforms. From forecasting ad revenue across volatile global ad markets to building a comp structure that scales with Spotify’s ad-supported model, Wade shares how Sales Ops at Spotify balances speed, scale, and data precision. In this episode discover how Spotify triangulates forecasts with 96% accuracy, lessons from scaling Sales Ops in emerging and international markets, why Spotify centralized RevOps (and the impact), what Wade believes AI in Sales Ops actually requires as a pre-requisite, how he thinks about quota setting, and much more! Whether you're in SaaS, fintech, or media, this is a great conversation on operational excellence.
