This individual is a hands-on process expert, and integration architect, managing and monitoring continuous improvement of the CRM. This role is responsible for delivering scalable, high-performing CRM solutions tailored to the needs of a distributed sales model involving reps, channel managers, external partners, OEMs, and warehouse/distribution networks.

Deep expertise with ERP, CRM, or similar systems, including configuration, customization, workflow design, and implementation best practices (e.g., validation rules, user adoption strategies).
Experience designing systems for rep-based field sales, partner/channel models, and warehouse/distribution ecosystems, with familiarity in integrating ERP data, external industry sources, and data imports; demonstrated ability to work with salespeople to gain buy-in and drive adoption.
Strong understanding of sales journeys, buyer behaviors, funnels, KPIs, sales motions, and lead routing from systems like PRM; experience tracking deal progress signals like discount requests.
Demonstrated experience in reporting, dashboarding, and BI tools.
Bachelor’s degree in computer information systems, Business, or related field.
Deep, hands-on experience integrating systems, people, and process, with a strong appetite for system administration and a focus on scalable, user-friendly systems.
Process-driven and logical thinker, with strong business analysis and influencing skills to drive cross-functional buy-in, collaboration, and adoption.
Data-sensitive, with the ability to prioritize business impact (e.g., every dollar counts) amid complex data collection and deal tracking; comfortable restructuring messy legacy setups.
Excellent documentation, training development/enablement, changing management and communication skills to translate needs into capabilities.
Passion for clean data, structured processes, and awareness of CRM rollout best practices/pitfalls, including establishing SOPs and working directly with sales teams for alignment.
