- Support both high-velocity customer sales and success experiences and enterprise sales and service efforts.
- Maintain the roadmap of GTM initiatives, leveraging strong collaboration, prioritization, and project management skills.
- Drive actionable outcomes by clearly communicating findings to a mix of technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Who You Are:
