Implementation & Integration Leadership

• Partner with Technology, Data, and external vendors to ensure seamless integration across platforms (e.g., CRM, data enrichment, content, analytics).
• Ensure solutions align with enterprise standards while meeting real field needs.
• Act as the escalation point for scope, trade‑offs, and business decisions during implementation.
• Validate that solutions are usable, scalable, and aligned to defined use cases before release.

Enablement, Training & Adoption

• Own the training and enablement strategy for each product, including onboarding, role‑based training, and ongoing refreshes.
• Partner with Sales Enablement and Sales Leadership to embed tools into:
• Sales process and workflows
• Manager coaching and deal reviews
• Retention and account management motions
• Develop practical assets such as playbooks, quick‑start guides, and use‑case‑driven training.
• Measure adoption and usage; drive targeted interventions where adoption lags.

Stakeholder Management & Governance

• Serve as the primary point of contact for Sales, Retention, Marketing, Learning/Development and Technology stakeholders.
• Facilitate regular product reviews, roadmap updates, and prioritization sessions.
• Balance near‑term field needs with long‑term platform strategy.
• Ensure feedback from users is captured, synthesized, and reflected in future roadmap decisions.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years product management, product ownership, or business‑led implementations, preferably supporting Sales or Revenue teams. (Preferred platforms on Microsoft Dynamics CRM, ZoomInfo, Adobe or other equivalent Sales and Marketing platforms)
• Strong understanding of sales, marketing and retention processes, including pipeline creation, management, account planning, and renewals.
• Proven ability to translate business strategy into actionable roadmaps and releases.
• Experience leading cross‑functional teams without direct authority.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and enable field teams.
