Establish best practices for configuration rule management, data standardization, and maintaining a single source of truth.
Partner with teams to migrate legacy systems and processes to the CTO platform, ensuring minimal disruption.
Architect the CPQ system for high maintainability and operational autonomy during high-velocity periods like NPI.
Define scalable product models, BOM structures, configuration rules, and compatibility logic.
Implement and oversee transformative initiatives to migrate organizations toward CTO across multiple enterprise systems.
Ensure system scalability, performance, and integration through APIs, middleware, and event-driven architectures.

Requirements

A Master’s degree is required in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a closely related quantitative technical field.
A minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in IT, with a significant emphasis on designing, implementing, and managing large-scale enterprise applications and integrated platforms.
