CRM & Customer Experience
- Drive projects that enhance CRM platforms, customer data strategies, and omnichannel customer journeys.
- Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to ensure that technical solutions translate directly into improved customer outcomes.
- Champion a CX-first mindset across all workstreams, bridging the gap between technology delivery and real-world business impact.

- Manage relationships with internal teams, third-party vendors, and system integration partners.
- Lead steering committees and governance reviews with confidence and executive presence.

- Strong understanding of CRM platforms, customer data models, and customer journey frameworks.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Nice to have

- Proficiency in Jira for sprint management, epic/story tracking, and release coordination (a plus).
- Familiarity with tools such as Confluence, Smartsheet, or Azure DevOps.
