Operations Analyst Jobs in Cottage Grove, MN (NOW HIRING)

C.H. Robinson is seeking a Senior Revenue Operations Analyst to join our Sales team. In this role you will improve commercial performance by identifying where sales execution is limiting results, build a clear case for change, and drive action through data-driven recommendations that influence leadership and improve how the business operates.
You will work directly with sales leadership to improve pipeline management, forecasting accuracy, and deal progression. You will set clear standards for pipeline health, forecast quality, and how opportunities progress through the pipeline. This work will shape how leaders review pipelines and assess deal progression, ensuring issues are clearly identified and teams adjust how they prioritize and execute work to hit targets.

CRM Discipline and Commercial Process Improvement

• Define and reinforce expectations for CRM data quality, ownership, and process adherence to ensure reliable pipeline visibility and forecasting
• Align systems, workflows, and reporting to defined sales processes so teams can execute with greater consistency and accountability
• Identify process gaps, unclear ownership, and points of friction that slow pipeline progression or reduce sales effectiveness
• Support testing, implementation, and adoption of process and tool improvements, ensuring changes translate into stronger execution

Cross-Functional Operating Rhythm and Accountability

• Partner with Sales Leadership, Marketing, Pricing, Sales Enablement, and Operations to align priorities, remove barriers, and improve revenue execution
• Support consistent operating cadences, including pipeline reviews, forecast calls, and leadership routines that drive accountability and better decisions
• Create visibility to execution gaps, call out inconsistencies, and track follow-through on agreed actions with leadership
• Act as a connector across teams to keep priorities, expectations, decisions, and actions aligned

Success Metrics

• Improved pipeline health, conversion rates, and deal progression
• Increased forecast accuracy and consistency in how forecasts are built and reviewed
• Stronger CRM discipline and data reliability
