Senior Sales Operations & Business Development Manager

Description

Reporting to the Chief Growth Officer, the Senior Sales Operations & Business Development Manager will help build more consistent sales practices across Northwest Center’s current and emerging sales activity.

This role is primarily focused on sales operations, including pipeline management, CRM discipline, sales reporting, forecasting support, KPI tracking, and follow-up across assigned sales activity.
