• Completes tier 2 and 3 support requests if escalated by CSM
• Coordinates with Sales Engineer and/or CSM to run product demonstrations, and remove technical barriers to closing
• Maintain deep expertise in Anova’s IIoT product portfolio, competitive landscape, and industry best practices to position the platform against alternatives
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date opportunity and account data in Salesforce to support pipeline visibility and forecasting
• Finalize contract terms and pricing to close deals, partnering with Sales Engineering on data collection and integration handoff
