Revenue operations is the fastest growing commercial function in UK businesses. It is also the least consistently defined, which makes both hiring and job hunting unusually confusing.

Quick answer: RevOps roles in the UK span three quite different jobs: reporting and analytics, systems ownership, and commercial strategy. Most job adverts do not say which one they mean. Working that out before you apply is the single most useful thing you can do.
Almost every RevOps problem, on both sides of the hiring table, comes from this.
Forecast accuracy, pipeline hygiene, dashboards, board reporting, commercial analytics. Heavily data-focused, usually reporting into a Sales Director or CFO. Suits people who come from analytics or finance backgrounds.
CRM architecture, martech and salestech stack, integrations, automation, data quality. Technical, build-oriented, and increasingly the hardest of the three to fill. Suits people who came through Salesforce or HubSpot administration.
Territory and quota design, commission plan structure, pricing input, go-to-market planning. Commercially weighted and often reporting directly to a CRO. Suits people who came from sales or consulting.
Some senior roles genuinely span all three. Most do not, whatever the advert says. Asking which one a role actually is, in a first conversation, marks you out as someone who understands the function.
Sales operations sits closer to the sales floor and is more tactical: CRM ownership, process, enablement, deal desk. Revenue operations is broader, spanning sales, marketing and customer success, and usually owns the numbers the board sees.
In practice the titles are used interchangeably at smaller companies. Below about 50 headcount, assume they mean the same thing and ask about scope instead.
The common routes in are sales operations, sales itself, business analytics, finance and CRM administration. Sellers moving across bring commercial credibility but usually need to prove technical depth. Analysts moving across bring the opposite problem.
Either way, the shortest path is usually to own something end to end in your current role, a forecasting process or a CRM migration, and have a concrete result to point at.

Whether you built in a system or merely used it, commercial credibility in front of a Sales Director, scale context, and specific evidence of impact such as improved forecast accuracy rather than a list of responsibilities.
