Operations Analytics Jobs in Calgary, AB (NOW HIRING)

In a multi-billion-dollar B2B distribution business, sales acceleration is more than a buzzword — it is a competitive advantage. The Sales Operations Specialist is a mission-critical role built for high-performing professionals who blend strategic thinking, operational precision, and commercial insight. You will operate across the entire sales ecosystem — from Outside Sales and Technical Specialists to Business Development and Own Brand teams — ensuring every seller is empowered to move faster, win more, and serve customers better.

This is not your typical behind-the-scenes support role. You will be an initiative-taking, data-informed force for growth — connecting the dots across Sales, Marketing, Category Management, Customer Service, Accounts Receivable, and Analytics. Whether it is untangling complex workflows, removing barriers, or bringing smart strategies to life, you will be the go-to execution partner for keeping the pipeline moving and the team on point.

At Bunzl, we thrive on digital execution, customer-first thinking, and operational excellence. If you are enthusiastic about sales enablement, obsessed with problem-solving, and excited to see the tangible impact of your work on revenue and customer success – this is your opportunity to lead from the center.

Key Responsibilities

As a Sales Acceleration Partner, you will function as the strategic operations backbone for the sales team — ensuring deals move faster, data is actionable, and sellers stay focused on customers. Your work spans five core areas:

 Sales Enablement & Deal Acceleration

 Data Analysis & Customer Insights

You will turn raw data into actionable insights that support smarter selling:

• Analyze pipeline activity, and customer data to highlight risks and opportunities
• Create and maintain customer organizational charts to support strategic account planning.
• Develop dashboards, forecasts, and data summaries to provide stakeholders with clear, actionable data
• Leverage reporting tools including Microsoft Office Applications: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Power BI, CRM - Dynamics, and automation platforms to support data-driven decision-making.
• Connect insights across platforms to support personalized selling approaches
• Submit new item usage and forecasts to the purchasing team

  Operational Support & Workflow Optimization

• Prepare pricing review packages and manage formal pricing submissions
• Support Accounts Receivable by collecting missing customer information during New Customer setup and facilitating timely resolution of outstanding issues
• Ensure part and price file accuracy to support quoting and order integrity
• Track requests through completion and eliminate ambiguity in workflows
• Identify inefficiencies and implement solutions to streamline execution

 Administrative & Commercial Support

You will ensure sales teams stay organized, compliant, and focused:

• Draft and review pricing agreements, contracts, and other commercial documents
• Monitor open requests and deadlines, following up to ensure completion and accountability
• Maintain organized, centralized records of customer interactions, agreements, and sales documentation
• Establish customer rebate based on trade agreements in the system
• Track and manage contract lifecycles — from initial request to execution and renewal
• Ensure all documentation complies with internal policies, customer requirements, and audit standards
• Prepare executive-ready summaries, approval decks, or sign-off packages to support deal closure

 Cross-Functional & Customer Collaboration

You will serve as a communication bridge and problem-solver across teams and with customers:

• Function as a key liaison between Sales, Marketing, Product, Customer Service, Accounts Receivable, Category Management, and Data teams.
• Facilitate smooth internal handoffs and customer deliverables
• Proactively step in to clarify requirements, resolve blockers, and preserve customer confidence
• Escalate friction points and co-lead efforts to improve tools, processes, and execution

Qualifications:

• Diploma or degree in Business Administration, Sales, Marketing, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years in a sales operations, sales enablement, or business analysis role, preferably within a B2B environment. Experience in a distribution environment an asset.
• Experience with Microsoft Office Applications: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Power BI, CRM - Dynamics, and automation platforms are highly valued.
• You see how tactical work connects to long-term business goals.
• You are comfortable diving into data to uncover actionable insights.
• Adapt your message to your audience — from field reps to senior leadership.
• Approach complexity with curiosity and calm.
• Ensure accuracy and follow-through in fast-paced, high-stakes work.
