Identify opportunities to improve CRM adoption, data quality, workflow consistency, and sales productivity through thoughtful product and process improvements - Help define and measure what a high-performing CRM ecosystem looks like for Kraken’s B2B organization, using qualitative and quantitative insights to inform roadmap decisions - Support the evolution and consolidation of Kraken’s sales technology ecosystem, reducing unnecessary complexity and helping prevent fragmented processes and data silos as the organization scales WHAT YOU BRING -
