The Senior Business Operations Manager is responsible for improving the operational structure, reporting and day-to-day governance that help the business run efficiently and consistently. This is a Senior Manager role: it requires strong, varied operational experience, the ability to lead medium-to-large or more complex cross-functional initiatives with some oversight, and the judgement to make well-reasoned recommendations that balance impact, risk and practicality. The role combines revenue operations, business analysis, process improvement, and quality management as part of a broader business operations remit. It works closely with the Head of Operations, the wider Operations function, the Go-To-Market team, and company-wide stakeholders to turn business priorities into clear processes, reliable reporting and practical operational improvements.

Support on integration and usage of other relevant systems and how they form the process, such as Planhat and Clari.
Define, monitor and interpret key commercial metrics such as bookings, recurring revenue, conversion rates, deal cycle, retention, productivity and forecast accuracy. Drive data consistency in both usage and interpretation across teams as it relates to measuring commercial health.

Define and lead medium-to-large cross-functional operational projects from diagnosis through to implementation and adoption, with appropriate oversight from senior leaders.
