You will also directly produce analysis, narratives, and insight packs that enable the CRO and leadership team to make fast, informed decisions.

This role ensures the sales team operates with clarity, focus, and discipline - transforming goals into execution and insights into action. You will be a force multiplier for the Head of RevOps and CRO and a key driver of predictable, scalable growth
What you'll be doing
As a Senior Sales Operations Manager, you will
Sales Performance Leadership
- Own the core sales operating rhythm: forecasting, pipeline reviews, deal inspection sessions, and weekly/monthly performance checkpoints.
- Diagnose funnel performance, identify bottlenecks, and recommend actions to improve velocity, conversion, and predictability.
- Ensure sales leaders have a clear line of sight into trends, risks, and actions required.
Business Insights and Review Frameworks
- Own monthly and quarterly business reviews (MBRs/QBRs)—including insight synthesis, narrative building, and executive presentation materials.
- Partner with analytics and systems teams to translate data into operational intelligence—not raw reporting.
- Provide proactive insights to guide strategic priorities and performance improvement.
Sales Process Governance & Design
- Own the end-to-end Sales Process (Lead to Opportunity to Close) definition and documentation.
- Define and refine rules of engagement, and operational expectations with clear accountability.
- Own territory management and book of business roll-outs and maintain sales structure.
- Monitor and enforce process adherence to ensure consistency, scale, and operational maturity.
Sales Technology, Data & System Governance
- Act as the primary business owner for sales functionality within the CRM.
- Evaluate and recommend new sales technology solutions based on business need and ROI.
- Support the monthly/quarterly commission calculation process by ensuring sales credit and compensation data is accurate in the CRM for handoff to Finance/Comp tools.
Team Leadership & Hands-On Execution
- Lead and coach a small operations team while personally owning high-impact work streams, decisions, and executive outputs.
- Balance leadership responsibilities with direct ownership of analyses, content, and operational processes.
What you bring
- +10 years experience in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, or GTM leadership roles within a SaaS or high growth B2B environment
- Demonstrated experience working closely with CROs or Sales Leaders in a performance-driven operating model.
- Mix of strategic leadership and hands-on operational ownership.
- Executive-level communication, narrative creation, and business storytelling.
- Strong command of SaaS commercial metrics, forecasting methodologies, sales funnel dynamics, and operating cadences.
- Ability to drive execution discipline and influence senior leaders through operational clarity—not authority.
- High judgement, structured thinking, prioritisation, and an ability to operate in ambiguity.
- Experience scaling a sales function through growth, GTM evolution, or operational maturity phases.
- Familiarity with CRM/forecasting tools and BI platforms (at the insight and governance level).
Why this role is a good fit for youThis role is a good fit for you if
- You thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution: you enjoy moving fluidly between high level leadership and hands on work, such as personally building narratives, synthesising insights, and managing operational workflows
- You are a master of the Sales Heartbeat: You have deep experience running the rigorous operating rhythms of a SaaS organisation, including forecasting, pipeline inspections, and driving MBR/QBR frameworks
- You are an influential communicator and storyteller: You don't just report raw data; you have the executive presence to translate metrics into clear business narratives that help the CRO and leadership team make fast, informed decisions
This role is not a good fit for you if
- You prefer a pure people management role: if you are looking to step away from direct execution to focus solely on delegating and high level oversight, the hands on requirements of this role will not align with your preferences
- You struggle with ambiguity or lack of structure: this role requires someone to create the structure, define the rules of engagement, and bring order to a scaling sales function that may currently be evolving or high growth
- You are focused only on the "back-end" of systems: While CRM ownership is part of the role, this is a performance-driven leadership position. If you prefer technical system configuration over driving sales culture, accountability, and commercial performance, this won't be the right match.
