About the role

Datavations is seeking a Sales Operations Manager to own the operational foundation of our sales organization as we scale an AE-led, enterprise GTM motion. This role will be responsible for pipeline integrity, forecasting accuracy, CRM hygiene, and sales process execution — serving as the single source of truth for sales operations.

This is a hands-on role critical to improving predictability, enabling sales leadership, and creating a consistent buyer experience.

You’ll be measured on your ability to:

• Materially reduce forecast variance and improve confidence in Commit vs Best Case
• Implement and enforce clear, consistently applied sales stages across the funnel
• Improve pipeline conversion and predictability from Stage 1 through close
• Reduce manual effort required from Sales leadership through enhanced systems and reporting
• Build trust in sales data and process across the sales team and GTM leadership

This role facilitates pipeline and deal governance; final forecast and deal decisions remain with Sales leadership.

The Sales Operations Manager will be foundational to Datavations’ next phase of growth. You will help move the organization from founder-led execution to a scalable, predictable GTM engine.
