• Provide insight into market/customer feedback and help identify gaps between product functionality and demand.
• Act as a bridge between sales, product, and marketing teams to ensure alignment and knowledge sharing.
• Represent RDT at industry conferences and client-facing events, sometimes outside standard working hours.
