About the Role

We are seeking a Sales Strategy & Operations Associate/Sr. Associate to drive initiatives with our Solutions Engineering (SE) team, with a primary focus on partnering closely with executive SE leadership. This is a highly visible role at the intersection of strategy, operations, and analytics, where you will help shape how our SE organization scales effectively in a fast-growth environment.

The Solutions Engineering team is central to Verkada’s go-to-market motion, partnering with Account Executives to design customer-focused solutions, lead technical evaluations, and prove Verkada’s competitive advantages, building trust and accelerating revenue growth.

The role requires a balance of analytical rigor, strategic thinking, and operational execution to run the business and improve our processes as we quickly scale. We are looking for someone who not only brings strong problem-structuring and data skills, but who also has the drive to see recommendations through to implementation and measurable impact.

Enable Leadership Impact: Provide SE leaders with analyses, insights, and operational support to drive high-value decisions
Drive Analytical Insight: Build dashboards, tools, and analyses that turn complex data into actionable recommendations
Support Incentives & Resource Planning: Align hiring, budgets, and incentive programs with organizational goals, ensuring clear communication

Optimize Processes: Identify and implement improvements that reduce friction and increase SE effectiveness

What You Bring

3–5 years of experience in business operations, sales operations, or strategy roles
Solid grounding in statistics and probability, with the ability to interpret data and run statistical tests (e.g., inference, causation vs. correlation, hypothesis testing)
Demonstrated ability to manage complex stakeholder relationships and navigate professional conflict
Strong problem structuring skills; able to break down complex, ambiguous problems into actionable solutions
Blend of technical and business background preferred (e.g., computer science + economics, data science + business)
Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments with ambiguity and pressure
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Advanced Excel/Google Sheets proficiency required
Exposure to Salesforce or business intelligence tools (Tableau, Looker, etc.) is a plus, but not required
We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires that you be on-site at our HQ in San Mateo, CA 5 days a week.
