Sales and Operations Manager, SAFR (hybrid)

RealNetworks, Inc., Seattle, WA, United States


Company Overview SAFR from RealNetworks is a unified ecosystem specializing in face-based computer vision solutions optimized for real‑world performance. Building on a legacy of digital media expertise and innovation, RealNetworks has created a new generation of products that employ best‑in‑class artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance and secure our daily lives.

Position Overview Location: Seattle, WA (hybrid). While Seattle‑based candidates are preferred, we’re open to flexible arrangements for highly qualified candidates.

As we scale our SAFR SaaS/HaaS business, we’re looking for someone to own the operational backbone of our go‑to‑market engine. This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused role responsible for supporting the full lifecycle of our revenue operations, from pipeline management and deal support through order fulfillment and installation.

You will work closely with Sales to ensure deals are set up for success before they close, while also owning the operational processes that ensure smooth delivery post‑sale. This role blends light sales operations (in HubSpot) with fulfillment and installation coordination to help us scale efficiently. This is not a traditional Sales Ops or Operations role. Instead, you’ll play a critical role both in helping deals close and ensuring they are successfully delivered.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building and running processes, solving day‑to‑day operational challenges, and working cross‑functionally to keep things moving. We’re especially excited about candidates who enjoy using AI to streamline operations and eliminate manual work.

What you’ll do Operations & Fulfillment

Own the end‑to‑end process from closed deal to order to installation

Manage order processing and ensure accurate, timely fulfillment

Coordinate with internal teams and external installation partners to facilitate scheduling and execution of deployments

Maintain clear visibility into order and installation status for stakeholders

Identify and resolve bottlenecks across pre‑ and post‑sale workflows to improve speed and reliability

Sales Operations

Support deal execution by ensuring accurate setup and data integrity in HubSpot (deals, contacts, pipeline stages)

Optimize workflows and automations within HubSpot to improve lead management, deal progression and handoffs

Build and maintain basic reporting for pipeline and deal visibility

Ensure clean and consistent handoff from Sales to Operations

Act as the go‑to resource for day‑to‑day sales ops support

Other relevant tasks as needed

Tools, Automation & AI

Identify opportunities to automate workflows across sales operations and fulfillment

Leverage AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Lovable) to improve productivity and reduce manual work

Build and maintain lightweight automations using HubSpot workflows, Zapier, Make, or similar tools

Continuously improve systems and processes to increase efficiency and scalability

What we are looking for

3+ years in operations, sales ops, or a similar role in a SaaS B2B environment

Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple workflows simultaneously

Highly organized and process‑oriented, but comfortable operating in ambiguity

Thrives in a hands‑on role where you are both executing and improving processes daily

Experience with CRM systems (HubSpot strongly preferred)

Strong cross‑functional communication skills

Problem‑solver who takes ownership and drives things to completion

Curious and proactive about using new tools and technologies to drive efficiency

Comfortable experimenting with no‑code/low‑code tools (e.g., Claude Code, Zapier, Lovable)

Experience in HaaS/SaaS with hardware components (preferred), or logistics/fulfillment environments (preferred)

Bachelor’s degree (preferred)

Salary range for this position: 90,000 to 110,000 annually + bonus.
