- Partner with Marketing to refine outbound messaging and campaigns that resonate with technical and business stakeholders.
- Schedule discovery meetings and support pre-sales activities by gathering relevant insights and documenting account intelligence.
- Track outreach effectiveness and use data to refine messaging, segmentation, and targeting strategies.

- Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage technical and executive audiences.
- Strong research skills and curiosity to learn about complex, data-driven products.
- Self-motivated with a proactive approach to outreach and pipeline development.
- Comfortable using CRM and sales enablement tools to track activities and progress.
