- Experience working across Salesforce lead-to-order processes and related customer-facing workflows.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills across both business and technical teams.
- Experience creating comprehensive training materials, knowledge transfer frameworks and adoption plans.
- Proven ability to influence users and drive behavioural change.
Highly Desirable
- Salesforce transformation or CRM implementation experience.
- Exposure to logistics, supply chain, fulfilment or distribution processes.
- Experience supporting integrated environments involving multiple business applications.
