Sales Systems, Reporting & Productivity
• Lead the administration and continuous improvement of Salesforce and related sales tools.
• Improve CRM adoption, data quality, dashboards, forecasting, KPI reporting, and pipeline visibility.
• Identify and reduce non-selling activities that pull the Sales team away from customers and growth opportunities.
Customer Execution & Strategic Account Support
• Coordinate customer-critical orders, backorders, substitutions, pricing requests, and escalations.
• Improve quote turnaround time, order visibility, ETA communication, and follow through.
• Support customer onboarding, strategic accounts, VMI programs, account reviews, and QBR preparation.
Cross-Functional Coordination & Process Improvement
• Serve as an operational bridge between Sales, Customer Service, Purchasing, Warehouse, Operations, Accounting, and other departments.
• Clarify ownership, deadlines, next steps, and escalation paths for customer-impacting issues.
• Turn recurring delays, errors, handoff gaps, and unclear ownership into practical, repeatable process improvements.
Sales Enablement, Marketing & Events
• Coordinate sales presentations, product materials, campaigns, product launches, and trade show preparation.
• Support the operational onboarding and process training of new Sales team members.
• Ensure even leads are captured, assigned, entered in Salesforce, and followed through.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• Bachelor's degree required.
• 5+ years of experience in sales operations, business operations, customer service leadership, order management, distribution operations, project coordination, and/or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience implementing, administering, or significantly improving Salesforce or a comparable CRM platform.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, influence across departments without direct authority, and follow issues through to completion.
• Strong analytical thinking, communication, problem solving, organization, and attention to detail.
EXPERIENCE THAT WILL HELP YOU STAND OUT
• Experience in B2B distribution, manufacturing support, safety products, life sciences, ERP or order-management systems, inventory visibility, sales enablement, trade shows, and/or EOS.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
