Operations Associate – HubSpot CRM, Deal Pipeline & Excel Reporting | Remote
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Eastern Time (EST)
Location: South Africa or Latin America
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a highly organized Operations Associate to keep a high-value deal pipeline accurate, structured, and consistently moving forward.
This is not a traditional finance, investment banking, or sales role. You won’t be responsible for complex financial modeling, sourcing deals, or hitting sales quotas. Instead, your focus will be on execution, HubSpot CRM management, reporting, deal coordination, and consistent follow-through.
You’ll own the operational details behind long, 6–12 month deal cycles, ensuring every opportunity, follow-up, next step, meeting, and task is properly tracked and completed.
If you’re experienced with HubSpot, comfortable with Excel, and naturally make sure nothing falls through the cracks, this role is a strong fit.

•
Are exceptionally organized and detail-oriented
•
Follow through without needing repeated reminders
•
Are comfortable managing high-volume, repetitive follow-ups
•
Notice when deals, tasks, or communications are becoming stale
•
Enjoy maintaining clean systems and structured processes

What a Typical Day Looks Like
You’ll start by reviewing HubSpot for new activity, overdue tasks, outstanding follow-ups, and deals requiring attention.
Throughout the day, you’ll send professional follow-ups, update deal stages and notes, maintain Excel and Google Sheets trackers, coordinate meetings, organize deal information, and prepare reports or materials for leadership.
You’ll also regularly review the pipeline for opportunities that have stalled and proactively ensure the appropriate next step happens.
In short: you keep the deal pipeline clean, organized, and moving so leadership never has to chase updates or wonder what happens next.
