CRM Adoption Lead

Quick facts: Competitive day rate | CRM Adoption Lead | Maidenhead | Hybrid: 2-3 days in office

Have you led CRM adoption, Sales Operations or commercial data governance within FMCG or consumer goods?
Do you understand how pricing, promotions, trade spend and commercial data connect across sales and finance teams?
Are you comfortable operating in a lean, fast-paced environment where ownership, pace and accountability are expected?

This is a high-impact contract opportunity for someone who understands how commercial organisations actually operate and how CRM, customer data and Revenue Growth Management processes support business performance.
You will act as the business lead for CRM adoption and commercial data enablement across a complex FMCG environment. This is not a pure IT or system administration role.

You will join a lean and fast-moving consumer goods business where people are expected to operate with pace, take ownership and deliver outcomes directly. The environment will suit someone who is hands-on, commercially minded and comfortable working across multiple priorities without large support teams around them.
