We are seeking a seasoned Senior Product Owner, CPQ to own both the roadmap and the backlog for our Configure-Price-Quote platform within the IT Business Applications team. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can set direction for a product area, not just execute against a backlog of requirements, and who brings enough CPQ depth to be the person the business and the development team both turn to for the answer.

You will own the CPQ capability roadmap in partnership with the Senior Product Manager, lead discovery and solution design across product configuration, pricing, discounting, approvals, and renewals, and drive an offshore Salesforce development team through sprint delivery to release. You will also mentor more junior product owners and analysts, and raise the bar on how the team writes requirements, designs solutions, and measures outcomes.

This is a high-impact seat on a platform undergoing active modernization, including the transition toward Salesforce Revenue Cloud. You will engage directly with leaders across Sales, Deal Desk, Sales Operations, Channel, and Finance, with meaningful influence over how the company quotes and closes business.
