Sales operations analyst

For our business, for clients, and for you

Job Title:

Sales operations analyst

Location: Dalian

Apex Group has embarked on a genuine ground-up transformation of its GTM Operations functions — every function that interfaces with the customer lifecycle: Sales, CRM, Revenue Operations, Marketing, Business Operations and Product Management. That model only works if the day-to-day operational support is solid: clean data, quick answers, and deal-level support that keeps sellers selling instead of untangling processes.

In this role, you'll be the hands-on operational partner for our Sales and CRM teams — in Salesforce and CPQ at the deal-specific level, not just at a policy level — reducing friction, maintaining process excellence, and giving the wider GTM function the support they need to operate efficiently and hit ambitious growth targets.

We're looking for a Sales Operations Analyst to be the first port of call for our Sales and CRM teams on anything operational. This will range from a stuck deal in Salesforce, configuring deal scope in CPQ, aligning support from wider teams, and enablement as they occur on a day-to-day basis. You'll report to the Sales Operations Manager, and you'll be central to keeping the engine running smoothly as we build it out.

Key Responsibilities:

Provide hands-on, deal-level support in Salesforce and CPQ.  You'll be the go-to person for sales process questions in your patch — troubleshooting stuck deals, supporting lead routing and lead-to-cash, and running pipeline QA so we catch and address issues before they escalate.

Become the expert on our product portfolio and end-to-end process.  From the simplicity of Apex Invest subscriptions through to the complexity of Fund Administration engagements, you'll know the product suite and the full opportunity lifecycle well enough to be trusted with any question, from any seller.

Drive Salesforce hygiene and data governance.  You'll own the discipline that keeps sales data accurate — the foundation everything else sits on, from forecasting and pipeline health to executive reporting and governance routing.

Build reporting and insight as required.  You'll help build dashboards, reports, and performance metrics for reps, managers, and executives, and go a step further by surfacing recommendations based on what the data is telling you.

Feed the enablement engine.  You'll partner with Sales Enablement to provide feedback of what you see on the ground into onboarding materials, process guides and training content that reflect how the job is really done.

Connect across the business.  You'll work cross-functionally with Marketing, Product Management, Business Operations, Enablement, Customer Success and Finance to keep the sales motion aligned end to end.

Qualifications and Experience:

• 3–5 years of experience in Sales Operations or Revenue Operations, ideally within SaaS, B2B tech, or financial/professional services

• Strong Salesforce proficiency, with admin-level skills preferred, and comfort working inside CPQ at the deal level

• Experience supporting a quota-carrying sales team day-to-day, not just at a distance

• A track record of spotting operational gaps and turning them into scalable process improvements

• A resourceful, determined problem-solver's instinct — comfortable with ambiguity and driven to resolve issues across quote-to-cash rather than hand them off

• Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

• Strong analytical skills, including solid Excel proficiency

• Excellent interpersonal and cross-functional collaboration skills across Operations, Enablement, Marketing, Customer Success and Finance

What will make you thrive here:

• You'd rather fix the process than just work around it

• You take genuine pride in clean data and a well-run pipeline

• You're as comfortable explaining a Salesforce quirk to a rep as you are pulling together a dashboard for leadership

• You want to be part of building a commercial operating model from the ground floor, not inheriting one that's already set

What you will get in return:

• A genuinely unique opportunity to be part of an expanding large global business;

• Competitive remuneration commensurate with skills and experience;

• Training and development opportunities
