Ready to become one?

The Sales Operations Lead is the operational backbone of Visium's commercial engine. This role is a systems-and-rigour position with a mandate to build and run the infrastructure that lets our commercial team scale, with accurate forecasts, clean data, functioning comp plans, and margin-disciplined deal governance across a dual consulting-and-product revenue model. The Sales Ops Lead owns the forecast architecture, CRM, variable comp administration, deal desk, and commercial cascade operations. They bring the analytical depth to model a multi-channel pipeline, the process instinct to turn policy into working rules, and the presence to hold an ideal conversation with a Partner.

Responsibilities:

  • Forecasting & Revenue Architecture: build and own the weighted pipeline and revenue forecast across consulting engagements and Scribe/Devin product bookings. Reconcile bottoms-up commercial input with top-down board commitments, and produce the single revenue view the CEO and CFO present to investors.
  • Commercial Cascade Operations: translate the Partner → Director → Manager → Engagement Lead structure into working operating rules: account assignment, handoff protocols, deal credit allocation, and channel discipline between consulting and product. Own the policy and arbitrate the exceptions.
  • Variable Comp Administration: run the variable compensation programme end-to-end: quota setting, real-time attainment tracking, accelerator calculations, and edge-case resolution across mid-year hires, territory splits, and cross-sell credit. Partner with Finance and People on plan documentation.
  • CRM & GTM Data Ownership: own Salesforce or HubSpot and the surrounding GTM stack. Be the single source of truth for accounts, contacts, pipeline, and activity. Produce the board-pack revenue view without requiring hand-holding from the commercial team. Enforce data quality standards across the org.
  • Deal Desk & Pricing Governance: run pricing approvals and discounting governance across the five-location rate card and Scribe/Devin product tiers. Maintain margin discipline on framework deals and act as the operational check on commercial exceptions before they reach a Partner or the CFO.

Requirements
  • 6–10 years in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, or GTM strategy: ideally in a B2B professional services, SaaS, or hybrid consulting/product business with both a services and a product revenue line.
  • Deep, hands-on CRM ownership: not user-level familiarity. You have built custom objects, reporting layers, and automation rules in Salesforce or HubSpot yourself, and you can audit a broken pipeline in an afternoon.
  • Forecast modelling fluency: you build multi-scenario pipeline models in Excel or Sheets, know coverage ratios, velocity, and ASP, and can translate a bottoms-up cascade into a board-ready narrative.
  • Comp plan experience: you have operationalised variable comp programmes before: quota modelling, attainment tracking, accelerators, SPIFF mechanics, and the edge cases that arise in multi-product or split-credit environments.
  • Process design credibility: you can translate commercial strategy into documented, scalable operating procedures and get a sales team to actually follow them, because the rules are clear and the data makes compliance obvious.
  • Deal desk or pricing governance experience: you have run approval workflows, maintained a rate card, and enforced margin discipline without killing deal velocity.
  • Exposure to professional services revenue models alongside SaaS or ARR metrics: milestone billing, retainers, T&M, and software tiers in the same forecast is your normal, not a complexity you find awkward.

Who You Are

  • You build with rigour: your forecasts, comp trackers, and CRM structures are things the whole organisation actually trusts, not workarounds people route around when it matters.
  • You are analytically sharp and operationally hands-on: you do not wait for an analyst to run the numbers, and you do not outsource the messy work of fixing bad data to someone else.
  • You are comfortable being a strong internal operator behind a commercially-active leadership team: you do not need the spotlight, and you do not compete with Partners for deal ownership.
  • You hold the line on process and margin discipline without being obstructionist: you find ways to say yes to good deals faster, and no to bad ones clearly.
  • You communicate data findings to non-technical stakeholders without jargon, and you can walk a Partner through a forecast discrepancy in a way that drives a decision rather than a debate.

Benefits
  • A competitive compensation package
  • A yearly education budget to steep your learning curve
  • A yearly sport budget because a fit body leads to a fit mind
  • A flexible working culture because your work-life balance matters to us
  • A position that enables you to have an impact on 1’000s of people, and the whole company's growth.
  • An international, knowledgeable, and passionate team with a strong collaborative mindset
