- Engage with business stakeholders in originations, operations, and finance to translate pain points into actionable system improvements.
- CRM Administration & Configuration:

- Solution Design & Development Partnership:
- Participate in architectural and design decisions, evaluating build-vs-buy trade-offs and data model options.
- Use AI tools (e.g., Claude) to accelerate requirements gathering, draft process documentation, and prototype lightweight solutions.
- Produce clear, well-structured requirements packages and technical handoff materials for the development team when changes exceed configuration scope.
- Partner with developers on complex CRM enhancements, back-office integrations, and automation initiatives, providing business and systems context.
- Own user acceptance testing (UAT) for system changes, ensuring solutions align with real leasing workflows.
- Maintain documentation for system changes, configurations, and process improvements.
