About the Role
We are seeking an experienced CRM Operations Manager. The role will join to help shape a vision for the Sales workflows, required capabilities, data and operations needed to support our Ads Sales team. This role will partner with our Product & Technology team in developing the CRM as well as Regional Sales Operations to ensure local market strategies are supported in a scalable global system.

The right candidate is experienced in the domain of Sales Operations, and leans towards leveraging tools and technologies in support of Sales Operational workflows set out for Sales.
