Job description

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

We’re looking for a Sr. Sales Operations Manager to help run the operating rhythm behind our growing go-to-market organization. This role sits at the center of deal execution, escalation management, compliance coordination, and cross-functional planning, creating the structure that helps Sales move faster and with fewer blockers.

You will partner closely with Sales, Legal, Finance, Trade Compliance, and Operations leadership to keep critical deals moving, improve day-to-day execution, and build scalable processes that strengthen how the business operates. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants direct visibility into commercial execution and the chance to shape how Sales Operations scales at Tenstorrent.

This role is remote, based out of the United States.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

Who You Are

A highly organized operator who can manage complex deal motion, shifting priorities, and cross-functional dependencies without losing momentum.
A commercially minded partner who is comfortable working through customer escalations, contract redlines, and execution blockers with urgency and judgment.
A strong communicator who builds trust across Sales, Legal, Finance, and Compliance, and knows when to drive, coordinate, or escalate.
Someone who enjoys creating structure, improving process, and turning operational gaps into scalable systems.

What We Need

8 to 12+ years of progressive experience in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, or a related B2B go-to-market function.
Experience managing customer escalations, deal logistics, and order readiness in a fast-moving sales environment.
Comfort reviewing commercial terms at a high level before Legal engagement, and partnering closely with Legal and Finance to keep deals moving.
Familiarity with forecast support, compliance coordination, S&OP participation, sales incentive plan reconciliation, and CRM-driven operational rigor.

What You Will Learn

To build and scale a stronger deal governance and escalation motion inside a growing AI hardware company.
How Sales Operations works across quoting, order flow, compliance checkpoints, and cross-functional execution from deal review through fulfillment support.
The ability to shape planning, process, and operating cadence in partnership with Sales leadership and adjacent functions across the business.
To create the systems, rhythms, and team practices that improve deal velocity and help a high-growth go-to-market organization scale cleanly.
