Commercial CRM Product & Process Improvement Lead

Job Description

The Role

Agilent Technologies is seeking a commercially minded systems and transformation professional to help translate business needs into scalable technology solutions and maximize the value of Salesforce and integrated commercial systems.

This role partners closely with Commercial Operations, Sales, Marketing, IT, Process Improvement, and Change Management teams. The successful candidate will understand business objectives and friction points, convert them into clear requirements and solution concepts, and help leaders see the art of the possible across automation, reporting, workflow, and data visibility.

The position blends business analysis, process engineering, agile delivery, systems operations, change management, and user enablement. The ideal candidate is an organized, collaborative problem solver who can manage competing priorities, facilitate stakeholder alignment, and move initiatives from discovery through implementation, adoption, and continuous improvement.

Business accountability and IT governance

This position sits within Commercial Operations and contributes to the continuous improvement of agreed commercial processes enabled by Salesforce. The role is accountable for its assigned business outcomes, delivery responsibilities, and compliance with enterprise controls.

The business pod owns business requirements, value-based prioritization, functional acceptance, adoption, and benefits measurement within its delegated scope. Qualified pod members may design, configure, develop, test, and document solutions in authorized environments using IT-approved standards and tools.

IT retains accountability for enterprise technical architecture, cybersecurity and identity controls, privileged access, environment and deployment controls, production change and release authorization, and production service operations, in coordination with applicable enterprise control owners.

Business acceptance does not authorize production deployment. Production configuration, code, integrations, security settings, and material data changes must follow the applicable IT-controlled change process. Execution may be delegated through documented, role-based authorization; control ownership and required independent review remain in place. Individuals may not independently approve and release their own changes.

The role will work with the designated IT platform and delivery leads through a shared backlog, agreed delivery arrangements, and defined escalation paths.
