Senior Sales & Customer Success Operations Manager
Role summary
ChowNow is a leading restaurant technology company providing digital dining solutions. They are seeking a Senior Sales & Customer Success Operations Manager to act as a business partner embedded within Sales and CS teams. This role will own operational execution, identify and resolve workflow and process issues, and drive data-informed decisions in a dynamic environment. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, the ability to diagnose root causes of performance gaps, and experience managing stakeholders at all levels.
As the Senior Sales & Customer Success Operations Manager, you will be the business partner embedded deeply within Sales and CS, owning operational execution. You'll spot the friction and pain points, see exactly where workflows and processes break down, and define what actually needs to change — whether it's a workflow, a checklist, an ROE, or a comp trigger.
You bring the process rigor and the Business Systems team brings the technical chops to build durable & scalable systems. You define the what and why, translating a business need into a specific, buildable requirement — but you don't touch the systems yourself. The throughline across everything you do is reducing operational burden, especially manual work, so sales reps and customer success teams can focus on what actually drives impact.
This role reports directly to the Head of Revenue Operations and will not have any direct reports.
Responsibilities include:
General duties
Comp operationalization: defines comp calculation logic, QA's plan payouts, and maintains SPIFF/addendum tracking — the operational counterpart to comp design
Ad-hoc reporting for both teams
Spotting and specifying process improvements that make day-to-day easier
Sales Operations
Own territory transfers, assignment, and evaluation with sales leadership.
Partner with Finance and Sales leadership to build and enforce the discount approval workflows, and support the deal desk function for non-standard deal configurations.
Define pipeline stage entry and exit criteria across the sales lifecycle.
Own forecasting and pipeline health reporting — building and maintaining the reports reps and managers actually use day to day.
Process end of month commissions and SPIFF payouts accurately
Document sales rules of engagement (ROE) and maintain the source of truth for processes and Salesforce materials.
Onboarding Operations
Define and manage the onboarding checklist, escalations, stages, and SLAs. Prioritize “what actually matters” based on evidence, not habit.
Establish consistent handoff process from sales to onboarding and Restaurant success
Partner with Business Systems on Salesforce implementation needs — custom fields, reports, or automations.
Ensure proper tracking is in place to assess impact once changes go live.
Customer Success Operations
Define and manage customer stages from onboarding through adoption, renewal, expansion, and churn.
Establish health score logic (what inputs should matter & why), account risk alerts, and workflows with leadership.
Operationalize new customer segmentation based on revenue and potential (new segmentation design sits with the GTM Strategy lead)
Reallocate account portfolios balancing RSM workload
Partner with GTM leadership on capacity planning to ensure workload matches team bandwidth and reps are focused on the highest-impact accounts & tasks to drive the best outcomes
Process end of month commission and SPIFFS
Define outreach sequence logic and cadence for hibernated, downgrade accounts and win back accounts, partnering with Business Systems on build.
Reporting and Process Improvement
Develop and maintain accurate customer data and team activity in Salesforce
Own data hygiene for clean reporting
Recommend and implement process improvements that reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency and consistency.
Audit CRM data, fields, objects, and lifecycle stages to ensure alignment with business processes.
You Should Apply If You:
Have 6+ years of experience in sales operations, revenue operations, customer success operations, or a similar cross-functional business partner role. Experience with comp plan administration or SPIFF/addendum tracking is a plus
Have strong operational judgment — you know exactly what a rep or post sales rep needs to be more effective, and can turn that into a clear, buildable requirement rather than a vague ask
Are comfortable navigating Salesforce, Outreach, and Gong (PlanHat is a nice to have) well enough to build your own reports and pull ad-hoc data
Are fluent enough in systems and data to speak the same language as a Biz Systems or engineering counterpart, without losing anything in translation
Have strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and drive solutions proactively while working with minimal direction
Are comfortable in a fast-paced, scrappy work environment and aren't afraid to ask probing questions
Have a high attention to detail, as your specs and reporting directly shape what gets built and how performance gets tracked
Have strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to interact with employees of all levels, including sales and CS leadership
Have a proven ability to make data-informed decisions and thrive in a dynamic environment under short timelines with changing priorities
Can diagnose root cause — distinguishing whether a performance gap is a training issue, a metrics/reporting issue, or a comp misalignment issue
