THE ROLE

Join the Product Lifecycle and Technology Operations team to drive the flawless execution and integrity of our product configurations within crucial Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) systems. You will be the linchpin ensuring every new product launch and deprecation is seamlessly implemented, directly enabling our global salesforce and ensuring accurate orderability. This high-impact role requires deep cross-functional collaboration, especially with Product Management, to uphold the accuracy of our entire SKU lifecycle.

• Execute and validate all new and updated SKU configurations, bundles, and pricing structures within our CPQ tools to ensure alignment with critical product launch schedules.
• Represent the Product Operations team in organization-wide transformation initiatives including introduction of new CPQ, SKU management interfaces, and ERP. 
• Collaborate with Product Management to proactively guide and enforce best practices for configuring new hardware, software subscriptions, and service products, ensuring operational efficiency from the outset.
• Own the quality, accuracy, and completeness of the seller experience as delivered by the SKU configurations in the CPQ systems, directly impacting deal velocity and order integrity.
• Drive and scale the Product Operations team’s live-deal support related to SKU configuration issues, ensuring minimal disruption to the sales process and high business continuity.
• Manage testing environments, perform rigorous hands-on testing, and lead deployment activities across the business architecture to mitigate risks before go-live.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Proven experience in a dedicated CPQ operations, business systems, or product data management role within a complex technology or hardware organization.
• Deep, hands-on working knowledge of CPQ and ERP systems (e.g., Salesforce CPQ/Oracle CPQ, and SAP/Netsuite) in an execution, configuration, or support capacity.
• An exceptional, meticulous approach to data validation, rigorous testing, and deployment processes, with a high degree of commitment to data accuracy.
• Fundamental understanding of product configuration structures, SKU lifecycle management, and the crucial connections between CPQ, supply chain, and order management systems.
• A track record of successfully managing competing deadlines and coordinating across multiple cross-functional stakeholders in a high-volume, fast-paced operational environment.
