Go-to-market readiness: Coordinate with marketing, manufacturing, sales, AV partner manufacturers, and support to land successful launches and feature rollouts.
Customer advocacy: Represent and reconcile the needs of engineering, channel partners, and global customers.
Technical collaboration: Shape technical architecture and contribute to engineering discussions on AV protocols, features, and integrations.

Excellent cross-functional collaboration and influence, including with Engineering, QA, and Marketing.
Comfort operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with shifting priorities.
