  • Demonstrated success working directly with enterprise customers to deliver technical solutions and drive platform adoption.

  • Excellent communication, storytelling, and presentation skills with the ability to engage both technical and business leaders.

  • Strong collaboration skills, able to work hand-in-hand with sales teams to advance customer opportunities.

  • Proven ability to identify challenges, design solutions, and articulate value in business terms.
