WHAT YOU'LL DO

PLATFORM STRATEGY & ARCHITECTURE

• Define and own the hybrid Q2C architecture: Salesforce as the core system of record + Conga CLM, LinkSquares, Waystar billing platform, Oracle NetSuite, and Planview as integrated best-of-breed applications
• Lead platform evaluation, vendor selection, and rationalization decisions - producing business cases with TCO, NRR impact, and integration risk analysis for SVP and executive review

• Develop cross-training and career development plans to eliminate single-point-of-failure risk across the Q2C platform portfolio
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, operational rigor, and business partnership across the Q2C systems team

PROCESS EXCELLENCE & INTEGRATION

• Drive continuous improvement across the full Q2C lifecycle: Opportunity Quote Contract Order Billing Invoice Revenue Recognition
• Own integration design across all Q2C system boundaries; ensure field-level data fidelity and MuleSoft / Azure Data Factory pipeline health

• Partner with Finance on ASC 606 revenue recognition configuration and with Legal on contract data governance in LinkSquares
• Define and enforce data standards, field mapping governance, and object model consistency across the Q2C platform portfolio

STAKEHOLDER PARTNERSHIP & GOVERNANCE
