How to Apply for Head of Revenue Operations

at Choco

🏢 About Choco

Choco is a mission-driven startup tackling food waste and inefficiency in the restaurant supply chain through a digital platform. If you're passionate about using technology to drive sustainability and operational excellence, Choco offers a fast-paced, high-impact environment where your work directly reduces waste and improves margins for restaurants.

About This Role

As Head of Revenue Operations, you'll own the entire commercial operating architecture—from systems and processes to forecasting and compensation. This is a critical leadership role where you'll rebuild fragmented workflows and reporting foundations, enabling the revenue team to scale efficiently and make data-driven decisions that directly impact Choco's growth.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a standup with the sales ops team to review pipeline health and forecast accuracy, followed by a cross-functional meeting with marketing and customer success to align on lead handoff processes. After lunch, you'd dive into a systems architecture review, perhaps evaluating a new CRM tool, then end the day presenting a compensation redesign proposal to the CRO.

🎯 Who Choco Is Looking For

  • 5–6 years of RevOps experience in B2B SaaS, with at least 2 years leading the function in a high-growth, complex environment
  • Proven track record of building and scaling operating foundations (CRM, forecasting, compensation) from scratch or overhauling fragmented systems
  • Strong strategic and commercial acumen, able to translate systems and data into measurable business outcomes and influence senior stakeholders
  • Cross-functional collaborator who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup culture and can drive alignment across sales, marketing, customer success, and finance

📝 Tips for Applying to Choco

1

Highlight specific examples of rebuilding or simplifying RevOps infrastructure (e.g., migrating from spreadsheets to a CRM, redesigning compensation plans) with measurable impact (e.g., 20% increase in forecast accuracy).

2

Showcase your experience with food/restaurant tech or mission-driven startups—connect your work to reducing waste or improving sustainability if possible.

3

Quantify your achievements: use metrics like lead-to-close time, pipeline velocity, quota attainment, or revenue growth attributed to your operational changes.

4

In your cover letter, explicitly address how you'd approach Choco's fragmented systems and build a reliable operating model—be specific about tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Tableau) and processes.

5

Tailor your resume to emphasize cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management, as the role requires influencing without direct authority.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your experience leading RevOps in a B2B SaaS company, especially building scalable foundations in a fast-growing, complex environment', "Specific examples of how you've simplified fragmented systems and improved data reliability, with quantified outcomes", 'Your ability to partner with senior leaders (CRO, CFO, etc.) to drive strategic decisions and cross-functional alignment', "Alignment with Choco's mission to reduce food waste and enhance sustainability—show genuine passion for the industry"]

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • Research their competitors (e.g., Toast, BlueCart, Food Storm) to understand Choco's unique value proposition
  • Familiarize yourself with the restaurant industry's pain points around sustainability and operational inefficiency

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk me through how you would assess and rebuild Choco's current RevOps infrastructure—what would your 30-60-90 day plan look like?
2 Describe a time you had to drive cross-functional alignment on a major process change. How did you handle resistance?
3 How do you balance long-term strategic improvements with short-term revenue team needs in a fast-growing company?
4 What metrics and dashboards would you prioritize to improve decision-making across sales, marketing, and customer success?
5 Tell me about a time you redesigned a compensation plan. What was the outcome and how did you ensure adoption?
