Dealops
AI’s transforming how companies price, sell and scale. The shift towards outcome-based and hybrid pricing models has unlocked a $25B+ market - demanding smarter solutions across pricing, deal execution, and sales compensation.

We’re hiring a Founding Customer Activations & Strategy Lead to build our activations motion from scratch. This is an in-person role based in San Francisco. If you’ve delivered slide decks recommending change, here’s your chance to own the change—and watch it ship the same week. Perfect for ex-consultants who crave:
- Ownership – full end-to-end accountability, no hand-offs
- 1 → 10 growth – writing playbooks, not following them
- Customer activation – hands-on onboarding, adoption and expansion
- Strategic projects – turning insights into GTM and product bets
- High-profile exposure – work directly with heads of Pricing, Finance and RevOps at unicorns like Plaid and Airwallex
- PM on-ramp – clear path to Product Management once you’ve nailed activations and are shaping roadmap decisions daily
- Activate & onboard customers – design and run POCs, implementations and training that make first value obvious and fast
- Drive expansion – mine pricing & usage data to surface new upsell opportunities
- Strategic activation projects – build scalable playbooks (docs, training, dashboards) that move us from founder-led to repeatable motions
- Voice of the customer – collect customer feedback and package it into clear hypotheses for Product & Engineering
- 3+ years at a top consulting firm (or similar strategy/ops role) owning client workstreams end-to-end
- Comfortable turning messy problems into structured plans—and rolling up sleeves to execute
- Strong analytical skills (Excel/Sheets, Looker, SQL a plus) and crisp storytelling for QBRs & C-level syncs
- Demonstrated interest in moving into Product Management and startups
- Experience with SaaS, GTM tooling or B2B pricing a plus, but attitude beats exact background
- 6-8 month path to PM
- Competitive salary + early stage equity
- Medical, dental, vision
- Unlimited PTO (really)
- Daily team lunch & snacks
