Sales Operations Manager

At Sendbird, our mission is to build connections in a digital world. We believe that digital doesn't have to mean impersonal. That physical boundaries shouldn't create relationship boundaries. We believe in authenticity over superficiality, and in conversations over text messages. Conversations over digital media bring incredible promise to bridge people together over physical, cultural, and even language divides. Unfortunately, people and businesses looking to connect digitally have to make a choice between the impersonal experience served by email and plain text messages over legacy SMS systems or trusting their identity and data to a handful of messenger monopolies. The result is the connections we make digitally have become increasingly transactional and superficial. We are here to change that.
