Early Career Consult Program - Sales Operations Associate

Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

As a Sales Operations Associate in our Early Career Consult Program, you’ll help sales teams make informed decisions by turning business data into clear, useful insights.

You’ll be building practical experience across sales reporting, forecasting, data quality and business operations. Working alongside colleagues in sales, finance and operations, you’ll help teams understand pipeline, bookings, revenue and productivity. Your contributions will support accurate planning and help sales teams focus on the right actions.

This role will combine structured data analysis with collaborative operational support. Some of your time will be spent independently updating reports, reviewing data and investigating variances. You’ll also work with teammates to understand reporting needs, resolve data questions and improve processes.

You do not need to arrive knowing every sales process or platform. Through the Early Career Consult Program, you’ll be strengthening your business, technology and consulting skills while learning from experienced colleagues. You’ll gain hands-on experience with enterprise reporting and customer relationship management tools and develop the confidence to communicate data clearly to different audiences.

Your work will have a visible outcome: reliable information that helps teams plan, forecast and measure progress. As your capabilities grow, you’ll have opportunities to contribute ideas, take ownership of recurring activities and explore career paths across sales operations, business analytics and consulting.
