Prototype and evaluate AI-enabled solutions, including their logic, exception handling, data access, reliability, and need for human review. Assess and implement tools that improve Post-Sales efficiency, balancing business value, integration requirements, security, and long-term maintainability. Define and validate metrics for adoption, sentiment, advocacy, renewals, expansion, and churn, turning analysis into actionable recommendations. Prioritize operational improvements based on customer impact, business value, and implementation effort, and help leadership evaluate tradeoffs and measure results. Manage solutions from requirements and testing through deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing ownership. Develop playbooks, documentation, and training that drive consistent execution and support onboarding and continual education. Lead cross-functional initiatives such as feature-request processes, renewal management, and coordinated customer outreach.

A solid understanding of Salesforce architecture, including objects, relationships, Flow automation, validation rules, permissions, integrations, and reporting.
