Drive the engine behind high-performing sales development.

At Sage, we're powering the journey from interest to opportunity – and we're looking for a Senior Operations Manager to lead the way.

This role is built for a change-maker. Someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, systems, and scale. As the Senior Operations Manager for Sales Development across the UK and Ireland, you'll own the operational blueprint that drives growth, efficiency, and innovation throughout the SDR organisation.

Your mission? To make our SDR teams faster, smarter, and more effective through intelligent processes, advanced tooling, and AI-powered optimisation.

Responsibilities

What you'll be leading

Optimising for Scale

Evaluate and enhance SDR workflows across inbound and outbound motions. Build consistent, scalable, and repeatable processes that align with global standards. Eliminate inefficiencies and introduce innovations that accelerate speed to lead.

Driving Productivity through Tools and Tech

Audit, assess, and evolve the SDR tech stack. From CRM to engagement and routing tools, you'll ensure the team is equipped with the best-fit solutions to maximise output. Lead implementations and collaborate with global teams to roll out enhancements.

Embedding AI and Automation

Champion AI-led innovation across SDR workflows. Identify, test, and scale tools that power personalisation, prioritisation, and automation. Lead pilots and embed new technologies that free up time and improve outcomes.

Insights that Drive Action

Partner with Marketing Ops, BI, and Sales Ops to analyse funnel health, conversion rates, and pipeline performance. Turn data into insights. Turn insights into execution. Deliver clear reporting that drives decision-making across regions.

Own Regional Operations

Be the go-to operational lead for SDRs in UKIA. Troubleshoot challenges in real time, provide support on tooling and process issues, and drive best-practice adoption across the region.

Solve Systemic Challenges

Spot recurring issues, apply structured problem-solving, and deliver long-term solutions. Create documented frameworks that drive consistency and reduce manual effort over time.

Partner Across the Business

Collaborate with senior Sales and Marketing leaders to ensure operational alignment with strategic priorities. Provide regular updates, influence direction, and execute on shared goals.

Enable Change

Work hand-in-hand with the Enablement team to ensure successful rollout and adoption of new processes, tools, and training programmes. Support SDR leads and team members in embedding these changes into their daily rhythm.

What makes you the one

You're operationally obsessed – and you get a buzz from turning chaos into clarity. You're analytical, innovative, and laser-focused on scale and performance. But above all, you're a collaborator who brings people with you, from SDR to VP.

What you bring

5+ years of experience in sales, business, or revenue operations, ideally in a B2B SaaS environment

Proven success delivering operational change in a fast-paced, cross-functional setting

Strong grasp of continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Agile)

Experience designing scalable frameworks and leading process improvement workshops

Confident using Salesforce, sales engagement tools (Outreach, Salesloft), and marketing automation platforms (Marketo, HubSpot)

Skilled in business analysis, project management, and stakeholder engagement

Experience with international sales teams and operational complexity across regions

Curious, resilient, and always looking for ways to improve the system

Why this role matters

This isn't just a job in operations. It's a chance to shape how a modern sales development engine functions at scale—through process, people, and tech. You'll play a key role in how our sales teams convert potential into pipeline, and pipeline into revenue.
