Sales Development Operations Manager, Fremont

Amprius is looking for a Sales Operations Manager to build the Salesforce foundation that will power our next phase of growth. This is a ground-up opportunity— you won't be inheriting a mature system. You'll be architecting one. In this role, you'll own Salesforce end-to-end: standing up core infrastructure, establishing revenue recognition workflows, introducing automation and creating the data hygiene standards the team can scale on. You'll work directly with Sales and Ops leadership to translate business needs into reliable, repeatable systems that support SDR prospecting, lead qualification, routing, and early-stage pipeline creation across our UAV, LEV, aerospace/defense, and consumer electronics markets. The ideal candidate has lived both sides of this work — hands-on SDR or sales experience that informs how you build, and deep Salesforce expertise (Sales Cloud administration, reporting, dashboards, and automation) that drives how you execute. You understand that a CRM is only as valuable as the process behind it, and you're energized by the challenge of building that process from scratch.
