Partner with IT and Engineering to define API standards, error handling, and monitoring for all GTM system integrations. Evaluate and onboard new tools in a disciplined, integration-conscious manner.

• Automation & AI-Driven Workflows: Define the company's automation strategy across Salesforce Flows, CPQ rules, and process automation tools.  Identify and deploy AI-powered agents and workflows that improve data quality, territory coverage, forecasting accuracy, and deal-stage velocity. Continuously scan the market for emerging AI and automation capabilities relevant to quote-to-cash and revenue operations.

• Systems Delivery & Governance: Manage the GTM systems intake process, including triaging, scoping, prioritizing, and communicating requests from all stakeholder teams.
