About the Role
This is a hands-on, cross-functional role at the intersection of CRM administration, business analysis, sales operations, and platform implementation. Will own the configuration, integration, and day-to-day operations of CRM and similar platforms across multiple business units including LeadSquared, Knowlarity, Gupshup, WebEngage, and associated automation tooling.

The role demands equal comfort with technical problem-solving and stakeholder communication. Tech Stack & Platforms You will work directly on these platforms from day one:
Key Responsibilities
CRM Administration & Configuration
- Manage LeadSquared across multiple tenants — create and maintain custom fields, lead stages, activity types, permission templates, and user access.
- Build and maintain LSQ workflow automations including lead scoring, stage transitions, round-robin distribution, and trigger-based communications.
- Troubleshoot CRM issues raised by the sales floor: incorrect lead assignments, automation failures, activity logging errors, and access problems.
- Prompt resolutions with respect to maintaining CLI’s in telephony to avoid SPAM issues for Sales Team
- Own user lifecycle management (creation, deactivation, CLI assignment) and coordinate with vendors for provisioning changes.
Platform & Integration Operations
- Monitor and maintain integrations between LSQ, Knowlarity (progressive dialer, IVR), Tata Smartflo (CS routing), and messaging platforms (Gupshup, ValueFirst, WebEngage).
- Support progressive auto dialer operations — manage campaign configurations, diagnose call delivery failures (duplicate calls, agent coverage gaps, screen-pop delays), and coordinate vendor escalations with structured diagnostic data.
- Assist in IVR call routing implementations — document requirements, track open items, and act as the bridge between business teams and CRM/telephony vendors.
- Test and validate platform integrations using Postman; document API behaviours, error codes, and correct endpoint usage (e.g., LSQ Lead.CreateCapture vs Lead.Create).
Business Analysis & Requirements Management
- Gather, structure, and document business requirements before product or vendor handoff — covering functional scope, access controls, data privacy, integration specs, and risk considerations.
- Produce vendor-ready requirements documents, kickoff communications, and BRD review feedback; identify gaps and missing specifications proactively.
- Coordinate with BU heads, product managers, and external vendors across sales, CS, and operations functions.
- Build and maintain SOPs for CRM workflows, platform configurations, and integration processes.
Messaging & Communication Ops
- Process and reconcile monthly WhatsApp, SMS, Voice, BOT, and Converse invoices from Gupshup — map HSM line items to internal business unit accounts, validate charges, and prepare structured approval packages for BU heads.
- Support campaign setup and performance tracking on WebEngage — audience segmentation, lifecycle journeys, and trigger-based communication flows.
Automation & Process Improvement
- Identify repetitive, high-volume operational requests that are candidates for automation, flag patterns to senior stakeholders.
- Build lightweight automations in N8N, Zapier, or Google Apps Script — such as CLI assignment workflows, lead upload pipelines, and notification triggers.
- Maintain JIRA Service Management for support ticket tracking across WhatsApp and email channels; apply triage logic and route issues to the correct owner.
What We're Looking For Must Have
- 1–3 years of experience in CRM operations, sales operations, or platform administration (B2C / EdTech context preferred).
- Hands-on experience with LeadSquared or an equivalent CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) — custom fields, workflows, user management, and reporting.
- Strong working knowledge of Excel and Google Sheets — lookup formulas, pivot tables, data validation, structured formatting.
- Clear written communication: comfortable drafting vendor emails, internal requirement documents, and escalation notes independently.
- Structured, logic-driven thinker who can internalize process rules and apply them consistently — especially under volume or ambiguity.
- High ownership and attention to detail; catches errors in calculations, totals, and data mappings proactively.
Good to Have
- Exposure to telephony platforms (Knowlarity, Tata Smartflo, or similar IVR / dialer systems).
- Experience with messaging / WhatsApp Business platforms (Gupshup, WebEngage, ValueFirst).
- Familiarity with API testing tools (Postman) and basic API concepts (REST, JSON payloads, authentication headers).
- Basic scripting experience — Google Apps Script, Python (Google Colab), or nocode automation (N8N, Zapier).
- Experience working with JIRA Service Management or equivalent ticketing systems.
- SQL or basic data querying exposure is a plus.
