Sales Operations Manager

About the role

We're looking for a Sales Operations Manager to own the commercial operations relationship for our hyperscaler accounts.

Base salary range is $130,000 - $175,000 a year. The base salary offer will depend on factors such as education, experience, training, skills, qualifications, and location. This position is also eligible for a discretionary bonus, equity and a full range of medical and other benefits.

Responsibilities

Hyperscaler Account Ownership 

• Support the commercial operations point of contact for our hyperscaler accounts, managing the relationship end-to-end alongside the Sales account team.
• Administer and own major customer web portals for these accounts — forecasts, purchase orders, VMI (vendor-managed inventory) pulls, and JIT (just-in-time) transactions.
• Prepare materials with hyperscaler procurement and supply chain counterparts, presenting backlog, forecast accuracy, and open action items.
• Assist in resolving escalations, in partnership with senior team members regarding lead-time, delivery issues, and working with Sales to drive resolution directly with the customer.
• Excellent communication skills with the composure to lead a customer escalation calmly and represent the company along with Sales at senior procurement/supply chain reviews.
   

Order Management & Fulfillment 

• Own global purchase order processing from quotation through delivery and invoicing via ERP (NetSuite or equivalent), for high-volume, high-complexity hyperscaler order flows.
• Work directly with CMs and APAC sales team to drive PO closure. Maintain record of shipments vs. customer share award commits.
• Manage the end-to-end RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) process for these accounts, including root-cause coordination with quality and engineering.
• Track and report standard KPIs.

 
Supply Chain & Factory Coordination 

• Partner directly with supply chain management, planners, and manufacturing operations to address product backlog scheduling and align hyperscaler demand against wafer/assembly capacity and allocation decisions.
• Proactively communicate supply constraints or upside opportunities to Sales and the customer, rather than reacting to escalations.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) commercial readiness ahead of production ramp for hyperscaler-specific program requirements.
   

Compliance & Process Control 

• Review incoming commercial POs for pricing accuracy and alignment with revenue recognition policy, SOX compliance, international trade compliance, and ISO protocols.
• Ensure hyperscaler-specific contractual terms (pricing, price protection, audit rights) are correctly reflected in systems and honored operationally.
• Maintain audit-ready documentation for all account-level pricing, forecast, and compliance decisions.
   

Process Automation & Continuous Improvement 

• Identify opportunities to streamline hyperscaler portal workflows; partner with IT to implement automated data extraction, EDI, or API integrations that reduce manual entry and error rates.
• Build and maintain dashboards for bookings, backlog, forecast accuracy, and design-win-to-revenue tracking specific to hyperscaler accounts.
   

Cross-Functional Leadership 

• Act as the voice of the hyperscaler customer internally, feeding requirements back into supply chain, product marketing, and engineering.
• Coordinate with Sales and FAEs to keep design-in/design-win tracking accurate for these accounts.

Qualifications

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Operations, or a related field.
• Five years in sales operations, customer logistics, or supply chain operations within the semiconductor, electronics, or hardware manufacturing industry, including direct experience with large, high-volume accounts.
• Proven experience owning a hyperscaler, OEM, or equivalent strategic account relationship from a commercial operations standpoint — not purely internal-facing. 
• Proficiency with major ERP systems (NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics) and CRM platforms (Salesforce or Oracle).
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs, data manipulation) and working knowledge of BI tools (Tableau or Power BI).
• Direct experience with customer portal administration, VMI, and JIT transaction models.
• Working knowledge of SOX, international trade compliance, and ISO process requirements as they apply to commercial order processing.
   

Preferred Qualifications 

• Prior experience specifically supporting hyperscaler or large cloud/AI infrastructure accounts.
• Proficiency in Mandarin is highly valued given account and supply chain footprint.
• Experience with EDI and API-based portal integrations.
• Background in demand planning or supply chain in addition to sales operations.
• Track record of scaling sales operations process through a high-growth period.
