• Strong knowledge of CPQ and CLM systems (Salesforce CPQ, DealHub, or similar) and experience maintaining data accuracy across Salesforce and adjacent RevOps systems.
• Demonstrated experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, Legal, and Operations, with the judgment to balance growth, customer flexibility, and policy compliance.
• Experience building or improving approval workflows, operating procedures, and scalable process documentation, with strong analytical skills to identify patterns and manage escalations.
