Sales Ops Analyst at Clipboard - Remote US/Canada — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-First and Nomad-Compatible — With Caveats
Clipboard is explicitly a remote-first company, which is a strong green flag for location-independent workers. The role is analytical and tool-based (Salesforce, SQL, Python, AI agents), meaning the actual work is fully async-capable in theory. However, because this role supports a live sales organization, expect some overlap with North American business hours (US Eastern or Pacific time). Pure nomads in Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe may find timezone alignment challenging for syncs with sales reps and leadership.
Visa Considerations:
- The role is open to candidates in the US and Canada, so you'll likely need existing work authorization in one of those countries.
- Digital nomad visas (e.g., Portugal's D8, Costa Rica's Rentista) generally require proof of employment — a full-time remote role like this qualifies. However, US tax and payroll obligations may complicate long-term stays abroad.
- Short-stay tourist visas (90 days in the Schengen zone, 30-60 days in Thailand) are viable for periodic travel while maintaining a US/Canada home base.
Lifestyle Fit:
- Unlimited PTO is a genuine perk for travel-heavy lifestyles, allowing extended trips between sprints.
- No equipment stipend or coworking allowance is mentioned — budget accordingly if you work from co-working spaces abroad.
- The AI-augmented, small-team model suggests high autonomy, which pairs well with self-directed nomadic schedules.

About the Role
Clipboard is looking for a Sales Operations Analyst to help build and run the systems behind our sales organization.
You'll work across Salesforce, data, automation, and internal tools to help our sales team operate more effectively. That might mean building an automation that eliminates a recurring workflow, investigating a messy data problem, redesigning part of our Salesforce setup, or building a new system from the ground up.
We are a small team with an unusual operating model. Much of our execution runs through AI agents that we direct and quality-check, allowing each analyst to operate with the leverage of a much larger team.
This is equal parts builder and operator. You'll own systems end to end, work through ambiguous requests from reps and leadership, and be accountable for making sure the things you build actually work.
What You'll Do
Own live systems. Take ownership of production systems such as account distribution, deal intelligence, competitor tracking, and data sync pipelines. You'll be accountable for their accuracy and reliability.
Solve ambiguous problems. Work through requests from sales reps, managers, and leadership, figure out what is actually needed, and execute quickly.
Direct AI agents. Write specs and prompts, supervise AI agents, and rigorously QA their output before it touches production data.
Build automations and tools. Create scripts, scheduled jobs, Slack bots, and lightweight web apps that turn recurring manual work into scalable systems.
Analyze and report. Use SQL and other tools to answer important revenue questions and build reporting the organization can trust.
Guard data quality. Handle merges, deduplication, account mapping, enrichment, and other work required to keep our systems accurate at scale.
What We're Looking For
Evidence of building. You've built scripts, automations, tools, systems, or other solutions to real problems.
AI-native working style. You already use AI to multiply your output and understand where it can fail and how to verify its work.
High judgment under ambiguity. You can take a loosely defined problem, figure out what matters, and know when to act versus when to ask.
Strong attention to detail. You're comfortable being the last line of defense before changes affect production systems and large datasets.
Bias to ownership. When something you own breaks, you don't just fix the immediate issue. You look for the underlying problem and improve the system.
SQL and Python experience are strong pluses, but we're more interested in your curiosity, judgment, and ability to ship than checking every technical box.
Nice to Have
Salesforce administration or development experience, including flows, SOQL, or data model design.
Experience in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, Business Operations, analytics, or a similar environment.
Experience building automations with tools, scripts, APIs, or AI agents.
Interview Process
Application Review – We'll review your experience and evidence of things you've built, automated, or owned.
Take-Home Assessment – A practical, ~2-hour assessment using a fictional company, mock website, and CRM. You'll have 48 hours to complete it, and AI tools are encouraged.
Technical Walkthrough – A 30-minute session where you'll demo what you built, explain your decisions, and make a small live change to your system.
Manager Interview – A 30-minute conversation focused on communication, ownership, judgment, and how you operate under ambiguity.
Final Steps / Offer! – Some candidates may have an executive conversation, followed by references and an offer.
