Position Overview:

This role goes beyond basic administrative tasks. As a Sales Operations Specialist, you'll be an essential driver of sales performance and operational efficiency. You will manage CRM systems, build automations, and support a U.S.-based sales team through strategic outreach, proactive coordination, and systemized follow-up.

Key Responsibilities:

• Track and manage leads from multiple sources (inbound, outbound, email inquiries, and dormant estimates) using the franchise's CRM or provided tracking tools
• Follow up on open estimates and quoted work to drive estimate-to-order conversion
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date pipeline documentation so the franchise owner and sales team have full visibility into where every deal stands
• Communicate directly with US-based clients to follow up on estimates, confirm project details, and coordinate next steps
• Prioritize daily sales activities based on lead quality, deal stage, and urgency
• Provide daily and weekly reporting to the franchise owner on pipeline status, follow-up activity, and conversion progress
• Support pipeline hygiene by identifying stale deals, flagging data gaps, and keeping CRM records clean

Requirements:

• 2+ years in a sales support, sales operations, or sales coordination role
• Experience working with US-based companies in an outside sales or client-facing capacity (this is how we validate business-level English proficiency)
• Strong written and verbal English communication, comfortable speaking directly with US clients by phone and email
• Highly organized with strong follow-through, able to manage multiple leads and tasks daily without things slipping
• Experience using CRM systems to track leads, log activity, and manage pipelines
• Reliable, self-directed, and comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Reliable computer setup (Mac or Windows) capable of supporting VPN and day-to-day work tools; candidates with higher-spec setups or willingness to upgrade are preferred

Nice-to-Haves:

• Familiarity with CoreBridge (CRM software used in the signage and visual communications industry)
• Experience building simple automations or workflow improvements within a CRM
• Background in the signage, printing, or visual communications industry
• Familiarity with tools like Google Suite, Slack, or project management platforms
