Handshake is hiring a Revenue Operations Manager reporting to the Director of Strategy & Operations who leads our Revenue Operations team. You will be the day-to-day operating partner for our new business sales teams (Mid-Market, Strategic Corporate and Public Sector), owning the pipeline, forecast and productivity insights that help us win new logos. This is a hands-on individual contributor role with real ownership. You will build the analysis yourself, run the operating cadence, and use AI and automation to take manual work off reps and managers so they spend more time selling.
In this role, you will:
Partner with new business sales leaders as their go-to operator, turning bookings goals into pipeline, coverage and productivity targets, and helping managers act on them
Run the new business operating cadence: weekly pipeline reviews, forecast calls, and monthly and quarterly business reviews, bringing an independent, data-backed view of the forecast
Own new business reporting on pipeline health, stage conversion, sales cycle, coverage, attainment and rep productivity, with one clear definition for every metric
Find and fix funnel friction: diagnose where deals stall, and partner with Marketing, Sales Development and Enablement on programs that improve conversion and velocity
Support annual and quarterly planning, including capacity models, territory and account assignment, and quota inputs, in partnership with Finance and the RevOps leader
Keep the sales process clean: stage definitions, rules of engagement, lead and account routing, and Salesforce data quality
Model and monitor new business comp plans with Finance and Commissions, and track whether plans drive the behavior we intend
Build AI and automation programs that drive pipeline: partner with GTM Engineering to launch and scale programs that generate new business leads, testing in short build, test, learn sprints
Automate the manual work: use AI to automate reporting and deal inspection, and build internal tools that give managers and reps time back
Must-Haves:
4 to 7+ years in Revenue Operations, Sales Operations or Strategy & Operations at a B2B SaaS company, supporting new business or acquisition sales teams
A track record as the trusted operating partner to frontline sales managers and sales leaders
Strong analytical skills: you build models and dashboards yourself, using SQL and a BI tool (Omni, Looker, Tableau, Hex or similar)
Advanced Salesforce skills, plus experience with forecasting and pipeline inspection tools
Experience running forecast and pipeline cadences and managing funnel performance (conversion rates, sales cycles, coverage)
Experience supporting territory, capacity and quota planning
Clear, concise written and verbal communication; you turn analysis into a recommendation and present it to senior leaders
Hands-on use of AI tools (LLMs such as Claude or ChatGPT, Clay or similar) to automate your own work, with a builder mindset
An ownership mentality, a bias toward action, and comfort working through ambiguity in a high-growth environment
The ability to influence without authority across Sales, Finance, Marketing and Product
Bonus Points:
Hands-on experience with Gong, Nooks, Clay, Gainsight or comparable tools
Experience supporting multiple sales segments
Experience building automations or lightweight tools (Python, Zapier, Workato, n8n or similar)
Experience supporting sales enablement programs that improve rep productivity
Management consulting, investment banking or private equity experience paired with in-house operating experience
