We’re a small but well-funded team that just raised a substantial round – joining now comes with limited risk and unlimited upside TENEX is scaling its go-to-market motion, and the field team needs an operational backbone. This role keeps the revenue engine running — clean CRM data, tight reporting, airtight Google partner registrations, and fast-moving paperwork — so reps can spend their time selling. What You'll Do - Sales support. Serve as the operational backbone for the field team — keep CRM hygiene tight, own reporting and dashboards, and free reps to focus on selling. - Google deal registrations.

Directly tied to revenue and partner credit. - SOW support. Work with sales and delivery to build and turn around accurate SOWs so deals don't stall on paperwork. - Deal & lead flow. Drive opportunities through the pipeline from first touch to close — managing lead routing, handoffs, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. - Deal desk / pricing & CPQ (future). Help manage pricing and discount approvals, support the deal desk, and assist with contract and CPQ work so quotes go out accurately and on time. [ASSUMED: this becomes active once CPQ is in place — noted as future scope] What You Bring - 2+ years in sales operations, revenue operations, deal desk, or a comparable GTM support role. - Hands-on CRM experience (Salesforce or similar) with a bias for clean data and reporting. - Strong organization and follow-through — you own workflows end to end and nothing slips. - Comfort working cross-functionally with sales, delivery, and partners under deadline pressure.
