You’ll lead a small but might team and own the roadmap for Salesforce, Gong, DealHub, and ZoomInfo.\nYou’ll also run the forecasting and capacity planning cadence; manage territories, quotas, and commission operations; and turn pipeline and deal data into clear recommendations for sales leaders. This is a player-coach role for someone who can develop a small team while staying hands-on, and who is as comfortable building a Salesforce flow as walking a sales leader through a capacity model.\nEssential Duties/Responsibilities:\nTeam leadership:\nDirectly manage a Salesforce Administrator and a Sales Operations Specialist: set goals, assign and prioritize work, and hold regular one-on-ones with coaching and feedback.\nRun intake and prioritization for sales systems and operations requests, balancing quick fixes for reps with longer-term roadmap projects.\nDevelop each team member’s skills and career path, conduct performance reviews, and participate in hiring as the team grows.\nMake sure processes, system changes, and reports are documented so that no critical work depends on a single person.\nSales systems administration:\nOversee the configuration, maintenance, and continuous improvement of Salesforce, Gong, DealHub, and ZoomInfo, directing the Salesforce Administrator’s work on flows, validation rules, page layouts, and integrations, and stepping in hands-on for complex builds.\nPartner with Marketing Operations on the HubSpot-Salesforce sync, inbound lead routing (including Chili Piper), and the handoff from marketing to sales.\nManage user access, licensing, and system documentation, and evaluate new sales tools as needs evolve.\nSales process and data integrity:\nDefine and maintain opportunity stages, exit criteria, and required fields so pipeline data is consistent and forecast-ready.\nMap the opportunity-to-close and quote-to-cash process, remove bottlenecks, and work with Finance to build automated guardrails that keep bookings data accurate and audit-ready.\nForecasting and capacity planning:\nRun the weekly forecasting cadence in Gong and Salesforce, combining bottom-up rep commits with top-down pipeline analysis, and reconcile bookings and ARR with FP&A.\nBuild and maintain the sales capacity model, covering rep ramp time, productivity, attrition, and quota coverage, so leadership knows whether headcount and pipeline are ahead of or behind plan and when to hire.\nTrack pipeline generation and coverage against targets by segment, region, and rep.\nTerritory, quota, and compensation:\nDesign and balance territories and account assignments, and maintain clear rules of engagement.\nSupport Finance and sales leadership in translating annual targets into quotas and commission plans, providing the analysis and modeling behind plan decisions.\nDeal desk:\nOwn quoting and approval workflows in DealHub, including discount approvals and non-standard terms, balancing deal velocity with margin discipline.\nSales analytics and reporting:\nBuild and maintain dashboards for pipeline health, stage conversion, sales cycle length, and deal slippage.\nLead win/loss and competitive analysis to identify patterns in pricing, product, and positioning.\nAnalyze pricing and discounting trends, and identify whitespace and expansion opportunities within existing accounts and territories.\nSales leadership support and enablement:\nPrepare materials for pipeline reviews, QBRs, and executive updates, and present findings and recommendations to sales leadership.\nPartner with Sales Enablement to onboard new reps into systems and processes and drive adoption of new tools and workflows.\nOther duties as assigned.\nKnowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:\n5+ years in Sales Operations or Revenue Operations in B2B SaaS, with hands-on experience in forecasting, capacity planning, and territory and quota processes.\nSalesforce administrator-level expertise (flows, validation rules, reports, and dashboards); Salesforce Administrator certification preferred.\nHands-on experience with Gong, ZoomInfo, and a CPQ tool (DealHub preferred).\nProven experience building sales capacity models, pipeline coverage analysis, and quota and commission plans.\nStrong analytical skills with advanced Excel or Google Sheets; experience with a BI tool and SQL preferred.\nClear communicator who can turn data into recommendations for sales leaders and build trust with reps and managers.\n1+ years of people-management or formal team-lead experience, ideally with Salesforce administrators or Sales Operations analysts, including coaching others and prioritizing a shared workload.\nEducation and/or Experience:\nBachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience preferred.\n\n- Disclaimer-\nThe above statements are neither intended to be an all-inclusive list of the duties and responsibilities of the job described, nor are they intended to be a listing of all of the skills and abilities required to do the job.
