Sales Intelligence & Commercial Analytics Enablement • Define and own the technology strategy for Sales Intelligence - tools and capabilities that enable smarter, faster commercial decisions. • Enable embedded intelligence within CRM: account insights, relationship mapping, buying signals, competitive intelligence, whitespace analysis, propensity indicators. • Partner with the Director of Data, Insights & AI Product Management to surface data products and AI insights in seller workflows at the point of action. • Drive adoption of performance analytics and coaching tools: pipeline analytics, win/loss, cycle time analytics, rep performance dashboards. Transformation & Delivery Leadership • Lead cross-functional teams and partners to deliver outcomes; establish operating rhythms and measurable value realization metrics. • Manage platform vendors and implementation partners in outcome-oriented models. • Drive enterprise change management to ensure adoption and sustained value realization across regions and functions.
