• Analyze and document current and future business processes across multiple functions, identifying gaps, dependencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Create user stories, functional requirements, acceptance criteria, process documentation, and other materials that give delivery teams clear direction.
• Serve as a key connection point between business users and Salesforce technical resources, bringing strong functional platform knowledge to solution discussions.
