At Istari Digital, we are a fast-growing software technology company delivering SaaS infrastructure solutions designed to power mission-critical digital engineering solutions for aerospace, defense, logistics, and security operations. Our focus is on B2E (Business-to-Enterprise) engagements, collaborating with large enterprises and public sector organizations to modernize and scale their operational capabilities with innovative, cloud-based technologies.

We are seeking a Sales Operations & Enablement Manager with a proven ability to operate in a dynamic, fast-growing startup environment. The Sales Operations & Enablement Manager will be the engine behind the sales team’s productivity and effectiveness. This person will own our sales tech stack (including HubSpot and LinkedIn Sales Navigator), lead reporting and metric tracking, curate and manage sales collateral, and act as a critical liaison between sales, marketing, and GTM leadership. You’ll drive operational excellence, deliver compelling sales content in collaboration with design, and help the team navigate complexity through clarity, process, and enablement. Sales is your internal customer—you thrive on fielding ad hoc requests, solving operational puzzles, and ensuring the team has what they need to win. The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, adaptable, and comfortable operating in ambiguous environments. Additionally, the candidate will excel in cross-functional collaboration with internal teams and have a bias for action.

• Sales Enablement & Content: Centralize, curate, and maintain a single source of truth for sales collateral. Collaborate with designers to produce on-brand sales assets and customer-facing materials. Deliver basic social media support in coordination with the Sales & Marketing Associate. Conduct customer persona development and continuously refine ideal customer profiles (ICPs) in collaboration with sales and marketing. Segment accounts by industry, buyer behavior, and sales potential to support targeting strategies and outbound campaigns. Support the design and execution of account-based marketing (ABM) and territory strategies with actionable data and insights. Analyze go-to-market performance across segments to identify patterns, blockers, and areas for optimization. Deliver persona-specific messaging guidance and sales playbooks that align with segment needs and deal stages.
• Reporting & Performance Management: Build and maintain dashboards to track pipeline health, win/loss rates, activity ratios, and sales performance KPIs. Support forecasting and goal setting with clear, accurate reporting. Partner with GTM leadership on territory planning and metrics development.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Engineering, or related field.
• Experience:3-5 years of experience in sales operations, enablement, or GTM project management. CRM administration experience (preferably HubSpot) or aptitude to learn. Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills for sales analysis and dashboards. Detail-oriented, process-driven mindset with strong project management chops. Comfortable working cross-functionally in a high-growth startup environment.
• Technical Expertise or Willingness to Learn: Ability to quickly grasp SaaS infrastructure concepts or a demonstrated interest in acquiring that knowledge.
• Government Procurement Knowledge: Familiarity with public sector procurement processes, including RFPs, bids, and contract negotiations.
• Cross-functional Skills: Proven ability to work across multiple internal stakeholders. 
• Technology Proficiency: Hands-on experience with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce) and familiarity with SaaS infrastructure or willingness to learn.
