    Integration Management: Manage and enhance critical integrations with external systems (e.g., DocuSign, mobile field inspection tools, and other data sources).
  • Data & Analytics Leadership: Own complex reporting and analytics across Salesforce native tools and Tableau.
  • Process Governance: Lead the intake and prioritization of change requests and projects across various business functions, ensuring strict alignment with broader business processes and minimizing downstream risk.
  • Technical Influence: Facilitate technical discussions with stakeholders to challenge assumptions and guide the business toward optimal platform decisions.
  • Technical Skill Application: Contribute light development work as needed, utilizing Apex, Flows, and integration skills.
  • Collaboration: Collaborate seamlessly with internal and external teams using tools like Slack and Jira.
