The Role:

As Eckoh's business continues to grow, the Sales Operations Manager plays a vital role supporting sales leadership and key cross-department stakeholders to better execute on sales performance, reporting, operating structure, evaluating business needs, designing and implementing actionable recommendations, and tracking key success metrics.This is a business-facing operations role. The Sales Operations Manager owns the process, definitions and rhythm of the sales organisation: the forecast cadence, the numbers leadership relies on, the quota and territory model, the commission cycle, and the commercial governance around how we discount and book business. System configuration and development sit with our Salesforce administration and BI resource - this role sets the requirements and holds the standard and works closely with those teams to see change implemented.

Key Responsibilities:

Definitions, data and reporting standards

• Play a lead role in planning and budgeting activities to help establish key strategic priorities. Translate into actionable and quantitative plans.
• Build and maintain the territory and account segmentation model, managing the annual carve and in-year adjustments

• Run a structured win/loss programme and maintain competitive intelligence and battlecards that reflect what is happening in deals
• Identify where process, tooling or reporting is slowing the sales team down, build the case for change, and drive it through to implementation

Funnel, channel and cross-functional delivery

• Collaborate with Marketing, to ensure management policy, routing rules, MQL to SQL definitions, follow-up of SLAs and funnel handoff governance - the mechanics that produce the conversion ratings that we report on
• Own partner and channel operations: deal registration, co-sell tracking, partner-sourced pipeline attribution and partner commercial mechanics
• Lead cross-functional projects to support sales and service process optimisation end to end, including qualitative and quantitative analysis, project management and change management
• Coordinate and help drive product launches across a team of cross-functional GTM stakeholders

Essential Sills & Experience:

• Advanced Excel, modelling, quota and territory modelling, cohort and conversion analysis.
