About The Position

The Manager, Sales & Customer Experience Operations is a senior individual contributor responsible for the systems, processes, and analytics that drive performance across the full post-lead customer journey: from sales pipeline management through onboarding, retention, and expansion. Reporting to the VP of Revenue Operations, this role partners closely with Sales, Customer Success, and Support leadership to ensure every handoff is clean, every process is instrumented, and every tool is optimized to help the people who use it serve customers better. This role demands someone who thinks in systems and acts with urgency. You are comfortable advising a Sales leader on pipeline governance in the morning and rebuilding a broken Intercom workflow in the afternoon. You approach every manual process as a problem to be automated, and every tool as an opportunity to reduce friction for the customer. You are AI-first in your orientation, leveraging AI intelligence tools, workflow automation, and data enrichment to continuously raise the bar on what the revenue team can accomplish without adding headcount. You are relentlessly focused on the customer journey, understanding that operational decisions downstream of the sale are just as determinative of customer experience as anything that happens before it.

Requirements

6+ years of experience in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, Customer Success Operations, or a closely related discipline, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of GTM systems and processes.
HubSpot expertise is required; advanced CRM administration experience including pipeline configuration, workflow automation, and reporting.
Hands-on experience building AI-powered workflows and automations using tools such as Clay, Claude, n8n, or equivalent platforms.
Experience with data enrichment tools (Clay, Orbital, or similar) and multi-system integration management.
Proven ability to design and operate customer health scoring, renewal workflows, and expansion automation in a SaaS environment.
Strong analytics capability; proficiency with Metabase, Mixpanel, or equivalent BI tools; ability to build and maintain GTM dashboards independently.
Track record of operating effectively as a team of one: strong documentation discipline, systems thinking, and the judgment to prioritize high-leverage work.

Nice To Haves

Intercom experience is strongly preferred; candidates with hands-on administration experience across the support and lifecycle automation features will be prioritized.
