-
Lead the roadmap and governance for our telephony platforms (NICE CX One, Ring Central, Genesys Cloud, Business Connect) ensuring alignment with business objectives and integration with Salesforce and other GTM systems
-
Define the strategy and vision for how we use call coaching and conversational intelligence to improve seller performance—including use cases, success metrics, and expected ROI
-
Partner with sales leadership to identify high-impact use cases and translate them into product requirements that drive behavioral changes and seller excellence

Collaborate with data and analytics teams to design and implement an analytics framework connecting call insights to pipeline performance and revenue (working with Business Intelligence teams to execute)
