  • Partner with clients to understand business needs, operational challenges, and goals to deliver tailored solutions
  • Build trusted relationships with key stakeholders and serve as a strategic partner throughout the customer journey
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, Product, and Technology teams to ensure successful client onboarding and ongoing customer success
  • Monitor industry trends, competitive activity, and market opportunities to inform sales strategy and positioning
  • Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting, and reporting through CRM systems
