Job Description
At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.
Our Sales Operations organization is responsible for building the ultimate go-to-market engine to connect our solutions with customer needs at scale. As a Sales Strategy & Operations Associate, you will be partnering with senior sales executives to crack the most important strategic topics in the sales organization, driving revenue growth and improving sales productivity and customer value. The Associate is also responsible for leading, executing and scaling operational and planning processes (e.g. building sales territories, setting sales targets) in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. Finance).
In this role you will partner with the EMEA LinkedIn Marketing Solutions (LMS) sales leadership team to optimize the GTM motion for advertisers and agencies — driving customer segmentation, territory and quota design, and the operational rhythm for the Marketing Solutions business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
