Reporting to the Head of CRM & Sales Enablement, this individual-contributor role will translate business priorities into scalable capabilities that improve sales effectiveness, client engagement, workflow efficiency, data quality, and user adoption. Impact is driven through cross-functional influence, stakeholder partnership, and subject-matter expertise rather than direct people management.

• Use business outcomes, adoption measures, and user feedback to guide priorities and improve platform value.

Business Partnership & Transformation

• Build trusted relationships across sales leadership, consultant relations, relationship management, operations, data, and technology.
• Align North America distribution stakeholders and CRM delivery teams, facilitating decisions across competing priorities.
• Identify opportunities to improve client coverage, sales workflows, and commercial effectiveness through CRM, analytics, process improvement, and practical AI-enabled capabilities.
• Communicate priorities, progress, outcomes, risks, and recommendations effectively to leadership and users.

Adoption & Value Realization

• Lead rollout, change management, training, and adoption for new CRM capabilities and enhancements.
• Develop targeted communications and enablement materials, and monitor adoption and business impact to improve realized value.

• Experience in Product Ownership, Product Management, CRM, Sales Enablement, Business Analysis, or another business-facing distribution role.
• Demonstrated success translating business needs into delivered technology capabilities and measurable outcomes.
• Strong stakeholder leadership, communication, facilitation, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to bring structure to ambiguity and drive decisions.
• Experience leading process improvement, user adoption, or organizational change initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications

• Salesforce experience, including familiarity with configuration, reporting, automation, and governance sufficient to assess tradeoffs and partner with administrators and developers.
• Experience with CRM, client coverage, sales enablement, analytics, data governance, or commercial effectiveness platforms.
• Experience evaluating, piloting, implementing, or driving adoption of AI-enabled business solutions.
• Relevant Salesforce, Product Owner, Product Management, CFA, CIMA, or related certifications are a plus.
