• Maintain a high standard for opportunity quality and conversion potential.

• Support complex enterprise opportunities by developing account plans, solution positioning, and supporting materials.
• Coordinate across partners, Account Executives, and Sales Engineering teams to maintain deal momentum.

• Emphasis on quality and conversion over pipeline volume.
• High visibility role with direct impact on revenue generation.
