- Sales Leadership & Execution
- Actively engage in the full sales lifecycle—from qualification and proposal development to deal closure.
- Drive both direct and indirect sales opportunities, leveraging channel synergies and co-sell motions.
- Represent the central business in partner reviews, pipeline discussions, and key client meetings.
- Maintain ownership of regional forecasting, pipeline reporting, and performance tracking
- Market Insight & Feedback
- Stay close to the market to provide insight on trends, competitor activity, and partner needs.
