The Sales Operations Analyst (Contractor) will serve as the operational backbone of the Key Account Management organization, helping to streamline and execute the day-to-day sales operations activities required to support IT and business units. This role partners closely with KAMs, Solution Architects, Delivery/PMO, Finance, Procurement, Legal, and other cross-functional stakeholders to improve process consistency, data quality, reporting, and execution speed in a fast-paced, multi-technology environment.
Key Responsibilities

  • Own KAM sales operations execution: Manage and standardize recurring sales ops activities (weekly/monthly reporting, cadence support, trackers, status updates) to ensure consistency.
  • CRM administration and hygiene: Maintain accurate opportunities, accounts, contacts, and activity tracking in the CRM; drive data completeness and quality; support consistent stage definitions and close-date discipline.
  • Pipeline, forecasting, and performance reporting: Produce regular dashboards and executive-ready summaries (pipeline, bookings, renewal/expansion, backlog, key risks, and next actions) and support ad-hoc analysis requests from the KAM HOD.
  • Deal and engagement support: Coordinate internal steps needed to move work from concept to execution (intake routing, approvals, effort estimates, pricing inputs, and documentation readiness).
  • Contract/SOW and lifecycle tracking: Maintain trackers for SOWs, amendments, renewals, and key milestones; partner with Legal/Procurement/Finance to support timely review cycles and reduce administrative bottlenecks.
  • AR oversight and tracking: Provide oversight, tracking, and day-to-day coordination of accounts receivable (AR) activities tied to KAM/CBU engagements, including invoicing milestones alignment, aging visibility, and proactive follow-up with internal stakeholders to support timely collections.
  • Purchase Requests, ES, and GAR management: Submit, track, and maintain documentation for Purchase Requests (PRs), ES, and GAR items; ensure completeness, proper routing/approvals, and status visibility from submission through completion.
  • Purchase Order (PO) oversight and tracking: Submit, track, and manage Purchase Orders (POs) in alignment with approved scope and budget; reconcile PO status against project milestones and invoices; and coordinate with Procurement/Finance and delivery teams to resolve discrepancies.
  • Operational coordination across teams: Proactively follow up on action items across Sales/KAM, Solution Architecture, Delivery/PMO, and functional teams; remove friction by clarifying owners, deadlines, and dependencies.
  • Process improvement and documentation: Identify recurring breakdowns, root causes, and opportunities for automation or simplification; document standard operating procedures (SOPs), templates, and checklists.
  • Customer/CBU readiness support: Prepare and maintain client-facing operational artifacts as needed (meeting packs, QBR/MBR inputs, action logs, decision logs, and executive summaries) aligned to company standards.
  • Tools and technology enablement: Support the KAM organization in working effectively across multiple tools and platforms (e.g., CRM, Microsoft 365, collaboration tools, reporting/analytics) and coordinate with IT stakeholders when issues impact execution.
  • Confidentiality and compliance: Handle sensitive customer and commercial information appropriately and follow company policies for data handling and access management.
Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in Sales Operations, Sales Support, Revenue Operations, Deal Desk support, Business Operations, or a similar cross-functional operations role.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and multiple concurrent workstreams.
  • Strong project coordination skills with a track record of driving follow-ups, closing action items, and improving process adherence.
  • Strong analytical skills with advanced Excel capabilities (e.g., pivots, lookups, data validation) and comfort turning data into clear executive summaries.
  • Experience maintaining high-quality CRM data and producing pipeline/performance reporting, including hands-on experience with Salesforce.
  • Experience working with SAP (e.g., PR/PO-related activities, invoice/AR visibility, and operational reporting).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • High attention to detail, strong ownership mindset, and disciplined documentation habits.
  • Familiarity with SOWs, MSAs, basic commercial terms, and cross-functional workflows involving Legal, Procurement, Finance, and Delivery/PMO.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting enterprise account teams in IT services, systems integration, cloud, application development, infrastructure, data/analytics, or managed services environment.
  • Experience supporting QBR/MBR routines, account governance, executive reporting, and stakeholder communications.
  • Advanced Excel experience (e.g., complex pivots, Power Query, automated templates/trackers, and building repeatable reporting packs).
  • Experience with reporting/BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
  • Experience in automotive is a plus.
