+ Connect customer needs to relevant capabilities and coordinate demonstrations, proposals, and specialist support.

+ Address objections, negotiate within approved guidelines, and lead opportunities through close.

Deliver reliable execution

+ Coordinate with Sales Operations, solution specialists, partners, and other internal teams through commercial review and customer handoff.

+ Use customer and market feedback to refine territory activity and improve future sales conversations.

What you bring

Basic qualifications
