About the Role
We're looking for a Data Operations Analyst to own lead and account data quality across our sales pipeline. In this role, you'll make sure every prospect entering the pipeline - regardless of source system - is accurate, deduplicated, enriched, and ready for the field before a rep ever sees it. This is a high-impact role that blends technical depth with business judgment, directly shaping how confidently our sales teams can act on the data they're given.
Key Responsibilities
- Ensure leads and accounts entering the pipeline are accurate and deduplicated before reaching sales reps, regardless of source system
- Set and continuously refine the standards that determine lead quality and routing, whether leads are business-assigned or self-sourced
- Own the health of CRM data by cleaning up duplicate or broken records and maintaining sound account structures
- Serve as the go-to resource for data-related escalations - missing leads, bad matches, or broken processes - fixing root causes rather than one-off tickets
- Evaluate where AI can meaningfully improve data QA, enrichment, or anomaly detection, and hold any deployed solution to a measurable quality bar
Qualifications
Required:
- 5-6+ years of experience in data operations or go-to-market engineering, ideally in a B2B or marketplace environment
- Hands-on Salesforce (or comparable CRM) experience, including account structuring, deduplication, and field mapping
- Strong data quality instincts, with the ability to navigate complex, imperfect data structures and connect business use cases to data pipelines
- Experience designing or refining lead qualification criteria and SLAs
- Experience sourcing or evaluating third-party data vendors and enrichment tools
- Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills
- Strong SQL skills, including the ability to write queries for validation, anomaly investigation, and ad hoc analysis
- Clear, proactive communicator comfortable partnering directly with sales and field leadership
- Process-oriented mindset with the ability to build and document scalable workflows
Preferred:
- Python skills
- Experience using modern AI tools to build lightweight internal processes and workflows
