Senior Sales Operations Analyst

Retell AI is using the first principles to reimagine the call center with cutting edge voice AI.

Since launching 18 months ago, thousands of companies now utilize Retell’s AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Alt Capital, and other leading investors, we have scaled to $36M ARR with a team of 20 people, up from $5M at the start of 2025.

Our vision for 2026 is to build a modern CX platform where entire contact centers are powered by AI. Instead of basic automation that needs constant human tuning, we’re creating intelligent AI “workers” that can act as frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers — continuously executing, monitoring, and improving customer interactions.

We’re growing quickly and looking for ambitious builders who want to tackle hard technical problems, move fast, and have real impact at one of the fastest-growing voice AI startups.

Let’s build the future together.

As the Sales Operations Lead at Retell AI, you will build and run the GTM operating system that makes our revenue engine predictable as we scale. You will be directly responsible for the data, tooling, and operating cadence that the sales team runs on day to day, and for turning a fast-moving motion into something consistent, inspectable, and repeatable.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to build Sales Ops from zero to one, reporting directly to the CEO and shaping how Retell executes across Enterprise, Mid-Market, and SMB for years to come. You will join a high-velocity startup with real traction and high expectations, partnering closely with Sales, Finance, and Product to remove friction across the funnel, from lead flow and pipeline hygiene to forecasting and quote-to-cash.

You will have the autonomy to own the system end-to-end, ship improvements weekly, and create the operational foundation that enables the team to scale from $40M to $100M+ ARR.

• Own pipeline, funnel, bookings, and revenue reporting with clear definitions and one set of numbers the team trusts

• Support weekly forecast and pipeline inspection by keeping stages tight, data clean, and risks surfaced early

• Own the CRM as the source of truth: data model, lifecycle stages, required fields, and governance

• Manage the GTM tooling stack (inbound and outbound): integrations, automation, adoption, and ongoing system health

• Run and standardize the operating cadence across motions: forecasting, QBR/MBR, pipeline reviews, deal inspection

• Turn ad hoc questions into repeatable reporting and consistent operating processes

• Remove friction, eliminate manual work, and make execution faster and more consistent

• Partner with Finance and Legal to streamline pricing validation, approvals, and contracting

• Support non-standard terms, order forms, renewals workflows, and cycle time improvements across quote-to-cash

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent practical experience)

• 3+ years in Sales Ops at a SaaS company

• Hands-on ownership of CRM and GTM stack end-to-end (not just reporting)
