    • Gross Merchandise Value (GMV)
    • Order Volume
    • API Consumption
    • Credit-Based Licensing

  • Experience with Salesforce Order Management (OMS).
  • Knowledge of enterprise governance, cloud cost optimization, and licensing compliance.
  • Experience supporting high-volume eCommerce environments and large-scale digital transformation initiatives.
Desired Skills
