As the Senior Manager, Sales Operations you will report to the Chief Customer Officer, Walter Andri, and will contribute to and enhance the effectiveness of Highline Beta's Revenue generation function. You will be responsible for creating systems to optimize revenue generation efforts to drive lead generation and ensure a positive prospective client experience. Working in conjunction with the Chief Customer Officer you will develop and operate systems that generate and track prospective leads through the sales cycle from cold outreach to proposal stage. You will act as the steward of the CRM system, external lead generation vendors, events and partners. If you're passionate about driving results through full lifecycle sales and operations planning, re-engagement and tracking, demonstrating process improvement through data analysis, and while ensuring prospective clients have a positive experience, this role is for you. 

Highline Beta was founded with the mission of building better ventures. Our thesis is this: by unlocking the assets within large companies, we can help them grow beyond their core through internal and external innovation. 

We're blending an innovation consulting business with a venture capital business, giving us the best of both worlds. We're building a team of exceptional people that are excited by the prospect of working at a company that's doing something different and delivering incredible value.

We love building businesses. We love the mission of finding meaningful problems to solve, and then solving them with the right solutions. We love helping others achieve their goals, whether it's an innovation leader inside a large company, or a founder that's scaling her startup. Everything is a puzzle that needs to be figured out, and we spend our time at Highline Beta putting the puzzle pieces together.

We work across a host of different industries, and believe in our mix of entrepreneurial chutzpah and rigorous innovation methodologies to get us to the answers we're looking for. We help some of the world's biggest companies find and shape new business opportunities that will propel them to continued growth. For example, we've helped RBC Ventures launch 10+ new ventures in-market across multiple verticals. And we bring the startup ecosystem to our clients' doors, through smart partnership opportunities and our venture studio.

Our team at Highline Beta is customer-obsessed doers who are driven by outcomes over outputs. You will be collaborating with a cross-functioning team made up of leaders like Hussam Ayyad and venture strategists like Lindy Bates.
