Lead the Sales Operations function for Brightwheel’s Expansion business — which covers our emerging product lines including curriculum, professional development, and financial products — managing a team of 2 to start Partner cross-functionally with Expansion business owners, Sales leadership, PDE, and Finance to define priorities, align on strategy, and translate analytical output into operational decisions.

- 5–7 years of experience in SaaS Ops, RevOps, GTM Ops, or a comparable function, with at least 2 years directly managing 2+ people
- Strong analytical fluency and hands-on experience with Redshift, Snowflake, or equivalent data warehouse, comfortable with Sigma, Salesforce, and analytical tooling
- Demonstrated AI fluency: you've built end-to-end automated workflows, not just used AI to assist manual work. You should be able to describe something you've built that runs without you
- A track record of developing strong individual contributors — you build team systems, document institutional knowledge, and coach toward independence
- Program management chops: you've owned multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end — scoped them, managed the timeline, resolved blockers, and delivered. You don't need a PM to stay on track
- Executive communication skills: leads with a recommendation, defends it clearly, and adjusts based on feedback without losing the thread
