Drive the design, implementation, and refinement of the end-to-end customer lifecycle strategy (acquisition, engagement, retention). Ensure personalized, seamless experiences across all digital touchpoints.
Lead the end-to-end program management process using both predictive (waterfall) and iterative (Agile/Scrum) methodologies.

Oversee vendor partnerships, manage contract administration, and define, recommend, and secure contractual agreements, scope, and Statements of Work (SOWs) for CRM technical services.
Coordinate and guide cross-functional project teams (including globally distributed and offshore resources), providing clear direction and removing obstacles to ensure project milestones are met.
System, Data, and Continuous Improvement
Accountable for ensuring the responsible technical leads deliver strategic guidance on the CRM platform architecture (e.g., Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics), configuration standards, and seamless integration with other business‑critical systems.
Accountable for ensuring the responsible data and marketing leads govern data quality, integrity, and compliance; define data segmentation strategies; and translate campaign performance metrics into actionable business insights.
Identify, document, and monitor potential risks and issues that could impact program delivery. Provide regular, transparent status reports and dashboards to senior management and stakeholders on the critical path, program health, and risk status.
Lead organizational change management efforts related to CRM deployment to maximize user adoption, process adherence, and ROI across sales, marketing, and service teams.
