The CRM Strategist reports to the Sr. Director and is the primary architect responsible for leading high-complexity HubSpot implementations. This is a highly technical role focused on the intersection of Revenue Operations (RevOps), HubSpot systems architecture, and native integrations.
While you will collaborate with an Account Manager (who owns the client relationship and retention), you are the technical lead responsible for designing, configuring, and optimizing the HubSpot ecosystem to power the full customer lifecycle. You will translate complex business requirements into scalable technical workflows and native integrations that drive measurable revenue growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategic Technical Design: Lead the architectural design of HubSpot instances, ensuring data schema, custom objects, and property mapping aligning with the client's RevOps strategy.
- Native Integration Management: Own the strategy and configuration of native integrations within HubSpot (e.g., Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, etc.). You must understand the logic of sync rules, field mapping, and conflict resolution.
- Revenue Engine Optimization: Build lead scoring, advanced attribution, and automated hand-offs between Marketing, Sales, and Services.
- Data Governance: Implement and enforce data hygiene standards, deduplication logic, and governance frameworks to ensure the CRM remains a "single source of truth."
- HubSpot Implementation & Configuration
- Business Process Mapping: Conduct technical discovery to map "Current State" vs. "Future State" processes, identifying technical bottlenecks in the revenue funnel.
- Reporting & Analytics: Build complex RevOps dashboards that demonstrate clear ROI to stakeholders.
Requirements
- Technical Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience building complex solutions within the HubSpot platform.
- RevOps Expertise: Proven ability to design systems around revenue-driving processes (lead-to-cash, forecasting, and attribution).
- Analytical Skills: Strong ability to navigate complex business challenges and translate them into automated technical solutions.

With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
