Experience

  1. Sr Sales Operations Representative Higher Education

    CDW

    Feb 2026 — Present · Ames, IA, US

    I support high‑volume sales operations by managing quotes, orders, and contract‑aligned purchasing with accuracy and urgency. I partner closely with Account Managers, Services, and Project Management teams to coordinate complex customer rollouts and ensure seamless execution from quote creation through final delivery.My role includes maintaining compliance with government and customer requirements, preparing detailed product configurations, managing bids, and processing orders across SPS, AS400, and web‑based routing systems. I proactively communicate with customers and internal teams to provide real‑time updates, resolve issues, and create a frictionless order experience.I also mentor coworkers, maintain deep knowledge of products and contract vehicles, complete partner accreditations, and build trusted customer relationships—often serving as a secondary point of contact when account managers are unavailable. My focus is always on operational excellence, collaboration, and delivering an exceptional customer experience.
