About the Team & Opportunity

The BizOps team at Clever sits at the intersection of revenue strategy and execution — partnering with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Finance to build the data infrastructure and operational playbooks that drive growth. We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Revenue Operations to own the end-to-end RevOps function and fill a critical gap on the team: someone who can think clearly about the business and do the work themselves. This isn’t a strategy-only seat — you’ll be hands-on with the modeling, the systems, and the stakeholders. If you’re motivated by turning messy data into trusted decisions and getting cross-functional teams moving in the same direction, this role was built for you.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Revenue operations & analytics

  • Own bottom-of-funnel operations: pipeline review, renewal forecasting, NRR/GRR tracking, and contraction analysis
  • Build data-driven recommendations end-to-end — from the initial model to the leadership presentation
  • Drive ARR dashboard automation and reduce reliance on manual data reconciliation
  • Own cross-sell pipeline visibility and white space analysis

Process & systems

  • Clean up legacy processes while continuing to build — this is the most important challenge for this hire in year one
  • Implement and improve account segmentation, territory modeling, and quota/capacity planning
  • Partner with Salesforce and BI teams (Sigma) to strengthen reporting infrastructure
  • Contribute to lead lifecycle management, marketing-to-sales handoff, and funnel optimization

Cross-functional leadership

  • Serve as a thought partner to Sales, CS, and Marketing leaders — elevating the credibility and strategic footprint of the RevOps function
  • Lead change management across teams; frame process improvements as optimization, not criticism
  • Translate business questions into analytical frameworks — start with “what are we trying to answer?” before building anything

Team & management

  • Manage a small team while staying hands-on with key deliverables — this is a player-coach role with real management scope
  • Build credibility through early wins before pushing for larger structural changes

What We’re Looking For

Required Skills & Experience (Must-Haves)

  • 5+ years in Revenue Operations, with strong experience in bottom-of-funnel operations (CS, renewals, NRR/GRR)
  • Prior people management experience — has directly managed a team
  • Solid across analytics, process, and systems — comfortable moving between all three, not just one
  • Strong Salesforce proficiency: able to build, maintain, and improve complex reporting and data workflows
  • Track record of building data-driven recommendations independently and presenting them to senior leadership
  • Clear, concise communicator — precise with language and credible in the room with executives and cross-functional leaders
  • Change management instincts: able to bring stakeholders along without disruption
  • Experience operating in a high-accountability, metrics-driven environment (e.g., OKR-driven org)

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves)

  • Experience with BI tools such as Sigma, Tableau, or equivalent
  • Experience with renewal forecasting tools (e.g., Gong)
  • Familiarity with EdTech or SaaS go-to-market models

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive salary
  • Flexible PTO and Paid Parental Leave
  • Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage
  • Mental healthcare services
  • Professional development budget
  • Annual company retreat + team events
