Company Overview

Tidal is a Direct Placement Agency that helps job seekers find job opportunities for real growth. We work with stable, responsible businesses that are experienced in remote hiring and are excited to welcome international team members. Tidal is owned and operated by consumer brand owners and operators. We have experience in offshore team-building and aim to help businesses leverage global talent.

About This Role: We are hiring a Sales Operations Lead to support a fast-growing, high-ticket eCommerce company specializing in custom outdoor kitchens. This is the operational quarterback for every deal from post-consultation through close and handoff to production. You step into a documented pipeline, a defined proposal workflow, and clear lines of accountability. Your job is to run the system every day with speed, accuracy, and zero deals falling through the cracks.

This is not an administrative role. You own execution end-to-end across the pipeline, hold sales managers to their part of the process, and keep deals moving on a 24-hour proposal SLA.
