- Deliver training materials, role-based enablement sessions, and knowledge transfer to internal users and designated champions responsible for routine updates and support.
- Provide day-to-day application administration, evaluate enhancement requests, assess release impacts, refine backlog items, and contribute to continuous improvement efforts.
- At least 3 years of recent hands-on experience with Tacton product modeling, CPQ configuration, or platform administration.
- Proven involvement in at least one live Tacton implementation, major enhancement, or production rollout.
- Strong background configuring complex product rules, reusable model components, attributes, constraints, pricing tables, discount structures, and approval logic.
- Ability to lead working sessions with business stakeholders and convert functional discussions into detailed, testable configuration requirements.
- Experience supporting configure-to-order or engineer-to-order products, including testing, troubleshooting, release support, and post-deployment stabilization.
- Solid written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document decisions, train users, and work independently in an Agile environment.
- Familiarity with business requirements documentation, configuration management practices, client-side scripting, and API-related integration support.
- Experience in manufacturing, industrial products, modular construction, or related complex product environments is preferred.
