Job Description & How to Apply Below

Energy Drive Systems is scaling. Our customers are global industrial operators who care deeply about reliability, efficiency, and measurable outcomes, and our revenue discipline mirrors that focus.

This is our first dedicated Revenue Operations hire. Your job is to bring structure, visibility, and calm to the entire revenue engine, from demand quality and first enquiry, through to booking, delivery handoffs, and long-term account expansion. In short...make revenue predictable, measurable, and scalable.

You'll work closely with Marketing, Business Development, Sales, Operations and Account Management to ensure leads don t disappear, forecasts can be trusted, and leadership can make decisions based on reality not gut feel or spreadsheet archaeology.

This role is not about building a big Rev Ops empire. It s about building just enough process, data, and rhythm to support a growing business operating across the US, Europe, South Africa and emerging markets.

What does a typical month look like?

You ll spend time inside the CRM (cleaning, fixing, improving), running revenue and pipeline reviews, building simple dashboards leadership actually uses, and unblocking GTM teams when processes or systems get in the way.

One week you might be tightening lead handoff between Marketing and Business Development. The next you re fixing forecasting logic, redefining pipeline stages, or helping leadership understand why conversion rates differ by region or vertical.

You ll talk to sales reps, marketers, operations and account managers regularly asking annoying (but necessary) questions like "What actually happens here?" and "Why does this deal stall?"

You ll also be shaping how Rev Ops works at Energy Drive Systems long-term, without over engineering things too early.

Ideal for someone who...
  • Understands the boundaries of Rev Ops:
    You are the architect of the revenue process, but you do not own individual sales performance, quota attainment, or delivery project execution
  • Prioritizes commercial value:
    You do not build process for process s sake; every operational change must have a clear commercial justification
  • Enjoys building structure where there currently is "some structure"
  • Is comfortable being hands-on and thinking strategically
  • Can simplify complex, messy realities into something usable
  • Communicates clearly with both engineers and commercial teams
  • Prefers impact over hierarchy
Requirements
  • 5+ years in Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, or GTM Operations
  • Experience in B2B environments with long sales cycles and complex technical & commercial buyers
  • Strong understanding of recurring revenue models (ARR, churn, expansion)
  • Hands-on Salesforce CRM experience (architecture, reporting, data hygiene)
  • Comfortable operating across multiple regions and time zones
  • Ability to link operational data to commercial outcomes
Why this role matters
  • Energy Drive Systems is operating in markets where credibility, execution, and long-term trust matter. Rev Ops will be central to making sure our growth is sustainable, not accidental
  • You ll have real influence, direct access to leadership, and the opportunity to shape how revenue works as the company scales globally
Success Criteria

To reduce ambiguity, here is what  good  looks like after your first 9-12 months:

  • Forecast Reliability:
    Leadership has trust in the numbers, with reduced variance between committed and closed revenue
  • Data Integrity:
    Disputes over  whose data is correct  are replaced by a single, accepted source of truth
  • Operational Handoffs:
    The friction between Sales closing a deal and Operations delivering it is minimized through clear, documented entry/exit criteria
  • Salesforce Super User:
    You have established yourself as the internal Salesforce subject matter expert and administrator, capable of managing configuration, reporting, and hygiene directly without reliance on external developers
  • Full-Funnel Visibility:
    We have early visibility into renewal risks and expansion opportunities, not just new business pipeline
Benefits
  • Private Health Insurance
  • Pension Plan
  • Paid Time Off
  • Work From Home
  • Training & Development
  • Performance Bonus
