Mollie Bodensteiner, SVP of Operations at Engine, joins Janis and Philipp to unpack the RevOps org structure behind a 1,000-person company scaling at speed. Mollie shares how her team of 40+ built a pod-based model that balances enablement, systems, and sales ops—while staying fast, aligned, and strategic.From hiring 25 people in 6 months to syncing Asana, Slack, and sprint cycles, this is a playbook for anyone designing or rethinking their RevOps org.We cover: • How Engine designed a pod-based RevOps structure • The soft skills required for operating partners • Aligning enablement, systems, and ops around one roadmap • Scaling without drowning in meetings or Slack chaos • Tips for hiring across ops, enablement, and technical roles • How to run RevOps like a product org—with developers, BAs & roadmaps • Mollie’s framework for project prioritization (and saying no) • Why a “get the right people on the bus” mindset beats rigid job specsMollie Bodensteiner on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/molliebodensteiner/
