Ready to level up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place. Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

What’s the opportunity?

As a Senior Sales Operations Manager, you will be a strategic and operational partner to Fin’s Sales organization, helping build the systems, processes, reporting, and operating rhythms that enable our go-to-market teams to scale effectively.

You’ll work at the intersection of Sales, Finance, Business Systems, Data Engineering, Marketing, and GTM leadership. You’ll own critical sales operations programs across forecasting, pipeline management, territory and quota planning, compensation, performance reporting, and process optimization.

This is a high-impact role for a systems thinker and commercially minded operator who can move comfortably between detailed analysis, cross-functional program management, and executive-level recommendations. You’ll have the opportunity to improve how Fin’s sales organization operates while helping scale the GTM engine behind one of the fastest-growing AI products in the market.

What will I be doing?
  • Own and optimize core sales operations processes, systems, and operating cadences across the sales organization.
  • Partner with Sales leadership and Finance to build and maintain forecasting processes, pipeline reporting, quota models, attainment tracking, and performance insights.
  • Develop clear, trusted reporting and dashboards that give leaders visibility into funnel health, productivity, conversion, win rates, capacity, and revenue performance.

  • Partner with Business Systems and Data Engineering to improve data quality, data models, integrations, automation, and reporting infrastructure.
  • Identify and eliminate operational bottlenecks across the sales cycle, including lead routing, opportunity management, approvals, contracting, handoffs, and post-sale transitions.
  • Establish and maintain consistent definitions, governance, documentation, and processes for key sales metrics and data.
  • Lead complex cross-functional projects from discovery through implementation, including requirements gathering, stakeholder alignment, testing, rollout, and change management.
  • Build executive-ready analyses and recommendations that help leadership make decisions about growth, investment, productivity, and organizational design.
  • Use AI tools and automation thoughtfully to reduce manual work, improve data access, and increase the speed and quality of sales execution.
  • Create scalable operating processes that support growth without requiring linear increases in headcount.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to sales leadership on performance trends, operational risks, process improvements, and strategic priorities.
  • Support quarterly and annual planning activities, including business reviews, headcount planning, goal-setting, and operating plan development.
What skills do I need?
  • 5+ years of experience in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, GTM Strategy, Sales Strategy & Operations, Business Operations, or a related field, preferably in a high-growth technology or SaaS company.
  • Strong understanding of sales processes, forecasting, pipeline management, quota and territory planning, compensation, and sales performance metrics.
  • Experience owning or significantly improving CRM, BI, planning, compensation, or revenue technology systems.
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to translate complex data into clear insights and practical recommendations.
  • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills and experience with BI or reporting tools such as Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar.
  • Familiarity with Salesforce or comparable CRM platforms; experience partnering with Business Systems or Data Engineering teams is highly valuable.
  • Experience designing scalable processes, data governance frameworks, reporting systems, and operational workflows.
  • Ability to manage complex, cross-functional programs with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.

Policies 

Fin has a hybrid working policy. We believe that working in person helps us stay connected, collaborate easier and create a great culture while still providing flexibility to work from home. We expect employees to be in the office at least three days per week.

We have a radically open and accepting culture at Fin. We avoid spending time on divisive subjects to foster a safe and cohesive work environment for everyone. As an organization, our policy is to not advocate on behalf of the company or our employees on any social or political topics out of our internal or external communications. We respect personal opinion and expression on these topics on personal social platforms on personal time, and do not challenge or confront anyone for their views on non-work related topics. Our goal is to focus on doing incredible work to achieve our goals and unite the company through our core values.  

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
