• Map customer challenges to the Salesforce platform: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, MuleSoft, Tableau, Agentforce, Data Cloud, and GovCloud+
• Design, build, and deliver compelling, tailored demos and POC solutions for A&D/SI use cases: program management, logistics and sustainment, acquisition lifecycle management, case/investigation management, supply chain visibility, and partner/subcontractor operations

• Practical AI fluency: working knowledge of LLMs, RAG/grounding, agentic system design, and production behavior—including safety, reliability, and governance considerations relevant to complex A&D program environments
• Deep discovery and MVP scoping: able to run technical and business discovery with both prime program offices and SI delivery teams, define agentic use cases, set measurable success criteria, and produce a feasible architecture and activation plan
• Familiarity with federal compliance frameworks: CMMC given the prime/SI customer base
• Strong written, verbal, and whiteboard communication skills—able to engage C-suite primes executives and hands-on delivery engineers with equal fluency
• Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, team-selling environment managing multiple complex pursuits simultaneously
