Senior Business Manager, EMEA

Tenex.ai is seeking an experienced and operationally excellent Business Manager, EMEA to serve as the operational backbone of our EMEA organisation.

Bonus structure is 100% EMEA-aligned. Start date: 1 June 2026.

Reporting, Governance & CRM Excellence

The Business Manager, EMEA owns the operational rhythm of the region — from executive reporting cadences to Salesforce administration — ensuring leadership always has accurate, timely, and actionable data.

• Reporting & Governance
  • Owns and manages the full weekly, monthly, and quarterly reporting and cadence planning cycle across the EMEA region.

A critical part of this role is ensuring that every pound of GTM investment is tracked, measured, and optimised — and that EMEA-specific processes are clearly defined, embedded in Salesforce, and consistently followed by field teams.

  • Tracks all GTM spend — including campaigns, events, MDF, and BDR activity — against pipeline and bookings outcomes.
  • Produces a monthly GTM ROI report for the SVP and Finance.

Experience leveraging AI tools to automate workflows, streamline reporting, and drive operational efficiency is a key requirement for this role — and central to the Tenex.ai way of working. The candidate will have proven Pan-EMEA experience, having operated across multiple theatres or geographies within the region, and must be UK-based.
