Position Summary

The Commercial Systems & Strategy Lead, reporting to the Director of Sales/Analytics, is responsible for leading the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of commercial business systems, processes, and performance management capabilities supporting RESA Power's commercial transformation and go-to-market strategies.

The role serves as a cross-functional execution lead, translating commercial priorities into scalable operating processes, standardized workflows, governance structures, and measurable performance improvements.

• Business Systems & Data Governance: Translate business requirements into process documentation, functional specifications, and acceptance criteria. Partner with technical and functional teams to implement solutions, improve data integrity, reconcile CRM/ERP information, and standardize reporting and process controls.
• Sales Effectiveness & Growth: Develop and support initiatives involving customer segmentation, account coverage, whitespace identification, cross-selling, and commercial productivity to drive profitable revenue growth.
• Change Management & Adoption: Drive implementation readiness, stakeholder communication, process documentation, training, and adoption measurement to embed new commercial capabilities into daily operations.
• Executive Decision Support: Develop business cases, financial analyses, executive presentations, and actionable recommendations supporting commercial strategy, investment prioritization, and continuous improvement.
