  • Coordinate internal resources across engineering, product management, legal, finance, and leadership to advance deals.
  • Manage complex negotiations involving long sales cycles, multi-year commitments, and program-based buying decisions.

6. Pipeline, Forecasting & Reporting
  • Build and maintain a high-quality, predictable pipeline aligned with company growth objectives.
  • Provide accurate forecasts, deal reviews, and risk assessments.
  • Maintain CRM hygiene, including opportunity tracking, account plans, and executive summaries.

7. Customer Advocacy & Market Feedback
  • Act as a trusted business advisor to customers throughout the lifecycle of the relationship.
  • Identify expansion, renewal, and cross-sell opportunities in partnership with the TAM.
  • Provide structured market and customer feedback to influence product strategy and go-to-market priorities.
