CRM & Ops Analyst

brightfin’s sales team is growing, and the systems and processes behind it need to grow with it. The CRM & Ops Analyst owns the day-to-day health of brightfin’s CRM (Zoho) and the operational backbone that supports the sales team: clean data, reliable reporting, and processes that hold up as headcount increases. You’ll be the person sales, sales leadership, and cross-functional partners in marketing, finance, and customer success turn to when they need the pipeline data or process to be right the first time.

This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role at a company still building its sales operations function from a small base - expect to work close to the details, not just the strategy.

Essential functions

CRM administration (Zoho)

• Own day-to-day administration of Zoho CRM: user and role management, workflow and automation configuration, field and layout changes, and third-party integrations.
• Creation of new automations to support increased deal volume as the company scales.
• Maintain data integrity - deduplication, validation rules, and routine audits - so pipeline, account, and contact data can be trusted.
• Document CRM configuration and processes so they’re repeatable as the sales team scales.

Sales operations support

• Support pipeline management, forecasting, and quota tracking for the sales team.
• Support the deal desk approval process - tracking deal terms and approvals and flagging exceptions for Sales Operations and Finance.
• Manage lead routing and territory assignment rules in partnership with marketing and sales leadership.
• Execute post-sale deals processing for handoff to finance and customer success.
• Use of AI tools to increase sales and marketing efficiency.

Reporting and analytics

• Build and maintain dashboards and reports covering pipeline health, funnel conversion, quota attainment, and other core sales KPIs.
• Prepare recurring reporting for sales leadership, and ad hoc analysis to support board and leadership-level questions.
• Identify trends and process breakdowns in the data and bring them to Sales Operations leadership with a recommendation, not just a chart.

Cross-functional coordination

• Partner with marketing on lead handoff and campaign tracking inside the CRM.
• Partner with customer success and finance on renewal and account data continuity as deals move from sales to post-sale.
• Serve as a point of contact for sales reps on day-to-day CRM questions and requests.
• Cross-train with Sales Operations on order form & contract generation, board & leadership collateral preparation, sales onboarding, and sales training.

• 2-4 years of experience in sales operations, revenue operations, CRM administration, or a business/data analyst role.
• Hands-on CRM administration experience - Zoho, Salesforce, HubSpot, or a comparable platform. Zoho experience is a strong plus given brightfin’s stack.
• Experience in a B2B SaaS environment preferred.
• Experience with sales onboarding & training a plus.

Skills and competencies

• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills; comfortable building dashboards in tools like Zoho Analytics, Looker, Tableau, or Power BI.
• High attention to detail and a strong bias toward clean, trustworthy data.
• Process-minded - able to document and improve a workflow, not just execute it.
• Comfortable in a small, fast-moving operations team where the function is still being built.
• SQL/lead flow proficiency is a plus, not a requirement.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in business, analytics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred qualifications

• Direct Zoho CRM administration experience.
• Experience supporting a deal desk or deal-approval workflow.
• Experience at a PE-backed or growth-stage SaaS company.
• Familiarity with IT spend management, FinOps, TEM, or ITFM, or the ServiceNow ecosystem.
