Sales Operations Manager (Chicago-based)

seoClarity
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 4/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/16/2026

seoClarity is an enterprise SaaS platform at the center of how leading brands win in search. We combine technical SEO, content strategy, and AI-driven insights to help organizations improve visibility, drive acquisition, and make smarter marketing decisions at scale. Most sales teams don’t lose deals because of their product. They lose them in the moments that matter.


  • A missed question in discovery.
  • A weak pivot when the conversation gets uncomfortable.
  • A value story that almost lands… but doesn’t stick.


At seoClarity, we’re not looking for a Sales Operations Manager to build more content and hope it gets used. We’re looking for someone who can step into those moments, raise the bar, and fundamentally improve how our team sells!
