Own the ongoing tooling roadmap for quoting and deal approval, including future vendor/capability evaluation within the Salesforce Agentic Revenue Management (ARM) ecosystem now that ARM has been selected as 's future CPQ platform.

Partner with Deal Desk and Finance to ensure approval logic reflects current pricing strategy, deal guardrails, and compliance requirements.
