The team
We’re seeking a Sales Strategy and Operations Manager to support our global sales team—specifically our institutional client group—by delivering the processes, insights, and tools they need to perform at a high level.
This role is highly strategic and analytical, focused on strengthening our go-to-market (GTM) approach through pipeline insights, process optimization, and scalable execution frameworks. You will work closely with Sales and cross-functional partners to identify opportunities, improve efficiency, and enable consistent performance across the institutional sales organization.
The opportunity
Act as a strategic partner to Institutional Sales, helping analyze and optimize the GTM pipeline and overall sales process
Evaluate current workflows and identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement across the institutional sales funnel
Build and refine scalable processes that improve sales effectiveness and can be rolled out across teams and regions
Own sales reporting and analytics, delivering clear insights that inform decision-making and drive performance
Collaborate with product marketing managers to build sales collateral and enablement materials (playbooks, frameworks, client-facing content) to support institutional sellers
Help define how success is measured, including pipeline health, conversion, and performance metrics
Identify opportunities to automate workflows and simplify processes to reduce friction for sellers
Ensure tools and systems are structured in a way that sales teams actually want to use, focusing on usability and adoption
Partner closely with Sales, Marketing, BizOps, Finance, and Product to align on priorities and execution
Skills you should HODL
4-6 years of experience in Sales Strategy, Business Operations, or Consulting, with a focus on GTM and pipeline analysis
Deep understanding of sales funnels, pipeline management, and GTM processes, ideally within institutional or B2B environments
Proven ability to analyze data, build reporting, and translate insights into action
Experience building scalable processes and frameworks that improve sales performance
Ability to create collateral and reporting that supports sellers and drives outcomes
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to think on your feet and operate in fast-moving environments
Clear understanding of how to measure success and scale initiatives effectively
Experience identifying and implementing automation opportunities to improve efficiency
Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally across teams and stakeholders
Nice to haves
Familiarity with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce), but not a primary focus
Background in crypto, fintech, or institutional client environments
Experience supporting institutional sales teams or complex GTM motions
