How to Become One
This career typically requires a bachelor's degree. Here are the top colleges for it:
Cost to Qualify
Four years of tuition and required fees runs about $56K at a typical public college in our list (in-state) and about $288K at a typical private one. Both are pricier than the US national averages (about $48K public in-state, $180K private nonprofit, College Board 2025-26) because our 161-college dataset only includes nationally-ranked schools, not every US college. This excludes room and board, which we show separately on each college's page.
Sticker price, not what most people pay — scholarships, aid and in-state status all move it. Room and board is shown separately on each college's page.
AI Risk Assessment
Revenue operations (RevOps) managers run the systems and data behind a company's sales, marketing and customer-success teams: the customer database, sales forecasts, lead scoring, reports, and the processes that tie them together. The government has no category for this job. It falls under "business operations specialists, all other," which is projected to grow 3.9% from 2025 to 2035, about the average for all jobs.
A lot of this work is data handling and reporting, which AI does well. A 2025 Microsoft Research study of AI chatbot use ranked management analysts, the closest analytical job it measured, 23rd of 785 occupations for how much of their work AI can help with. The broad business-operations category ranked 210th. (Microsoft sells AI tools, and the authors warn that a high score does not by itself mean job losses.) The companies that sell sales software are building AI into forecasting and reporting, but because they sell those tools we do not count their claims as evidence.
AI also creates work for this job. Gartner, a research and advisory firm, predicted in November 2025 that AI agents will outnumber human sellers ten to one by 2028, yet fewer than 40% of sellers will say the agents made them more productive. Its advice to sales leaders is to focus on "data quality, process automation, and user experience," which is the RevOps job: someone has to choose, connect and fix the AI tools.
That is a 3. We expect AI to take over much of the reporting and data cleanup that junior RevOps staff start on, while the setup and coordination work grows. That is our judgment; we found no hiring data for RevOps specifically. What would change the score: sales platforms that forecast, score leads and report with little human setup, so companies run RevOps with one or two people, would push it to 4. Evidence that AI adoption is adding RevOps jobs would bring it to 2.
