Backed by RWDI Ventures, the innovation hub of RWDI—a global leader in climate and performance engineering—ClimateFirst has secured early market validation with a growing paid customer base and strong market traction. With momentum building, we are ready to scale our impact.

The Role

We are looking for a Sales Operations Manager to drive alignment, efficiency, and strategic focus across our sales team. This role is pivotal in ensuring the team operates seamlessly, leveraging our CRM effectively, and prioritizing leads to maximize sales performance. While this position does not involve direct sales or deal closures, it plays a vital role in optimizing the sales pipeline, optimize online lead generation, tracking performance metrics, integrating customer insights, and aligning sales with marketing efforts.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in structuring processes, optimizing workflows, and driving data-backed sales strategies—all within a fast-moving, high-impact startup environment.

Key Responsibilities

Sales Coordination & CRM Optimization

Ensure the sales team is aligned and working efficiently by tracking progress, assigning leads, and identifying priority opportunities.
Optimize the use of our CRM tool stack (experience with Apollo.io should be highlighted), ensuring leads are properly categorized, prioritized, and assigned while improving data tracking and insights extraction.
Regularly review and refine sales processes, ensuring a structured, repeatable approach to lead management and outreach.
Maintain an organized and visible sales pipeline, making it easier for leadership to assess progress at a glance.

Performance Tracking & Reporting

Track Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs), conversion rates, cost per SQL, and other key sales performance metrics.
Provide data-driven recommendations on which sales efforts are most effective and where improvements can be made.
Develop and share regular reports on sales performance, highlighting areas where additional resources or strategy shifts are needed.

Sales & Marketing Alignment

Serve as a bridge between sales and marketing, ensuring timely follow-ups on marketing-generated leads.
Work closely with marketing to identify content gaps, refine messaging, and enhance lead-generation efforts.
Assist in coordinating industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities to support brand awareness and pipeline development.

Customer Success Integration

Collaborate with the Customer Success team to gather insights from existing clients and integrate feedback into the sales strategy.
Ensure successful deals inform future messaging, helping refine sales approaches based on real client experiences.

We are accepting applications from candidates with the following qualifications:

Experience in sales operations, sales coordination, or revenue strategy, ideally in SaaS and commercial real estate.
Strong understanding of CRM systems (experience with Apollo.io is preferred) and sales enablement tools.
Proven ability to track and analyze sales performance metrics, including SQLs, conversion rates, and cost per acquisition.
Experience aligning sales and marketing efforts to maximize impact.
Strong organizational and project management skills to keep a growing sales team focused and efficient.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup environment where priorities evolve rapidly.
Prior experience in sales, revenue operations, or business development strategy is highly valued.
