• Testing & Documentation Roadmap Support (20%) – Identify required testing reports, certifications, and documentation to win specifications, coordinate third‑party testing schedules and track deliverables, maintain organized product documentation systems with clear version control and a single source of truth.
• Pipeline Improvement & Commercial Insights (15%) – Audit pipeline stages to identify bottlenecks, recommend and help create tools that directly improve conversion (FAQ, competitor comparisons, application guides, spec language), maintain CRM hygiene and ensure product and opportunity records stay accurate.

• Strong problem‑solving skills.
