This role is well suited to someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex work, connecting teams, solving operational issues, partnering with sales, and helping important work get done. Over time, this role is expected to grow from a strong execution-focused sales operations position into broader leadership partnership and more strategic support.

You will run execution rhythms, support planning and forecasting cadences, coordinate cross-functional follow-up, and help translate priorities into consistent action.

• Assist the pod with recurring business cadences and governance forums, including planning, forecasting, pipeline reviews, business reviews, and go-to-market routines.

Operational Coordination & Issue Management:

• Manage intake and triage for sales operations questions and issues, identifying whether topics relate to process, data, reporting, training, or technology and connecting them with the appropriate partner teams.
• Track decisions, dependencies, and exceptions to ensure priorities continue to move forward and escalation occurs early when needed.
• Identify recurring operational friction points and help improve operating rhythms, handoffs, and ways of working.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Partner closely with Sales Analytics & Insights to translate dashboards and insights into actions, follow-up, and decision support for sales leaders.
• Collaborate with Sales Enablement, Business Management, Technology, and business leaders to coordinate launches, workflow changes, readiness activities, and issue resolution.
• Support CRM adoption and effective use of standard workflows by helping users navigate processes, resolve issues, and connect business needs to the appropriate partner teams.

Qualifications

Preferred:

• Experience working in a B2B intermediary or institutional sales environment, preferably within financial services or asset management.

• Ability to translate operational frameworks, analytics, and insights into clear actions and follow-up.
• Strong collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across sales, analytics, enablement, and technology teams.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong working knowledge of CRM platforms, ideally Salesforce, including hands-on experience as a Salesforce super user who can guide users, reinforce adoption of standard workflows, and translate business needs into clear requirements for partner teams.
• Ability to identify operational improvement opportunities and help implement more efficient ways of working.
• Understanding and/or interest in financial markets, investment products, and the asset management industry a plus.
