3. Systems, Data Governance & Process Improvement

  • CRM to Finance Integration: Support the integration between GTM systems (CRM) and financial systems (ERP/Planning tools).
  • Data Governance: Define the "source of truth" for sales data. Implement quality controls to ensure the accurate flow of booking and revenue data into financial reporting.
  • Process Engineering: Develop standardized operating procedures (SOPs) for financial analysis to move the department from ad-hoc reporting to scalable, automated frameworks.

Requirements
