DescriptionReporting to the Chief Growth Officer, the
Senior Sales Operations & Business Development Manager will help build more consistent sales practices across Northwest Center's current and emerging sales activity.
This role is primarily focused on sales operations, including pipeline management, CRM discipline, sales reporting, forecasting support, KPI tracking, and follow-up across assigned sales activity. Northwest Center is developing more consistent sales practices, so the right person will need to be comfortable creating structure, improving visibility, and helping teams with consistent habits.
