• Partner closely with business stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Relationship Management 🤝
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear business solutions and recommendations
• Collaborate with developers and IT teams to identify enhancements, optimizations, and system improvements
• Troubleshoot and resolve application issues, data discrepancies, and user queries
• Support and enhance CRM workflows, datasets, and reporting capabilities
• Contribute to the strategic vision and roadmap for the firm’s CRM platform
