Background

About Sarah Cotter

At Indeed, the world's #1 job marketplace, I’m a people-first leader with a strong foundation in sales operations, business analysis, and team development. With a primary degree in Law (UCC) and a First Class Honours MSc in Management from Smurfit Business School (UCD), I combine strategic thinking with a deep passion for organisational efficiency and innovation, team dynamics, and high-performance leadership. Over the past several years, I’ve led cross-functional teams across EMEA in sales operations, business development, enablement, and automation. I’m especially passionate about cultivating talent, building psychologically safe and inclusive teams, and delivering complex global projects that drive measurable business impact. My experience spans fast-scaling startups and large-scale enterprises, where I’ve implemented sales systems, managed CRM migrations, developed quota and forecasting models, and overseen strategic operations initiatives. I’ve earned certifications in Tableau, Lean Six Sigma, and leadership frameworks including DiSC and Belbin — tools I regularly leverage in developing high-performing, purpose-driven teams. I’ve been proud to receive multiple internal awards, including recognition for leading a high-impact global initiative and the 2024 Finance Award for championing Inclusion & Belonging. I bring a mix of analytical thinking, empathy, and execution to every challenge — and I thrive at the intersection of data, people, and performance.
