The Sales Operations Manager owns the commercial operating engine between the company's and its dealer network — demand and supply planning, stock allocation, order-to-cash, channel master data, commission settlement, and sales reporting — ensuring the network is managed through clear rules, accurate data, and disciplined execution.
This role builds these processes into the company's’s ERP, Dealer Management System (DMS), and CRM as system-enforced rules rather than manual routines, and acts as the business owner for the commercial modules from requirement definition through testing, go-live, and continuous improvement.
The ideal candidate combines hands-on distribution operations experience with a strong systems mindset, and is comfortable designing processes, controls, and reporting standards from the ground up in a start-up environment.
