Proven ownership of a complex application portfolio (e.g., CRM, quoting/CPQ, portals, analytics, integrations) including roadmap, delivery, and operations.
Experience delivering AI-enabled capabilities (copilots, search/knowledge, workflow automation, or agentic solutions) with strong governance and security practices.
Strong executive stakeholder management; ability to translate between business outcomes and technology decisions.
Global leadership experience across internal teams and vendors; strong program and change management skills.

Responsibilities

Own the end‑to‑end IT GTM & Sales application stack strategy, target architecture, and multi‑year roadmap aligned to Sales priorities.
Define the GTM capability map and platform standards (integration, data, identity, security, UX) to reduce duplication and accelerate delivery.
Set and track outcome KPIs with Sales (e.g., seller time saved, quote/RFO cycle time, funnel conversion, self‑serve deflection, adoption, and satisfaction).
Lead delivery for prioritized initiatives across CRM, CPQ/quoting, partner/customer portals, sales enablement, and digital support—balancing speed, risk, and scale.

Drive change management with Sales Ops: communications, training, enablement, adoption measurement, and continuous improvement.
Identify and scale AI copilots and agentic workflows that improve seller and Sales Engineer productivity (e.g., account/meeting prep, summarization, follow‑ups, RFP/RFI response starters, knowledge Q&A, and next‑best actions).
Improve customer and partner self‑service (search, guided journeys, knowledge, case deflection) to increase digital conversion and reduce cost‑to‑serve.
Ensure AI solutions are grounded in trusted enterprise data and follow governance, security, and responsible AI requirements.
Run a joint demand intake and prioritization process with Sales/Sales Ops; maintain a transparent roadmap and delivery commitments.
Align to data definitions and process standards (e.g., account/opportunity, quoting, channel/partner) to enable consistent reporting and automation.
Manage key vendors/partners and internal teams across product, engineering, architecture, and operations to deliver outcomes end‑to‑end.
