RevOps — Revenue Operations defined and explained

RevOps is the discipline of aligning sales, marketing, and customer success operations under a single owner — process, data, technology, and reporting unified across the revenue funnel.

RevOps is the modern evolution of what used to be three separate ops functions: Sales Ops, Marketing Ops, and Customer Success Ops. The argument for combining them: revenue is a unified funnel, and treating it as three separate handoffs creates leaks at every handoff.

FAQ

• Is RevOps a team or a person?
  Both, depending on company size. ~$5m ARR: one RevOps person. ~$30m ARR: 3–8 person team. $100m+: 10–30 person team.
• Does our marketing team need to disband if we hire RevOps?
  No. RevOps owns the operations layer (data, tools, process, reporting). Marketing/sales/CS still own strategy and execution.
• What's the difference between RevOps and BizOps?
  RevOps is funnel-focused (sales/marketing/CS). BizOps is company-wide (revenue + finance + product + people).
