• Manage proposals, commercial negotiations, and closing of sub €25k deals within agreed thresholds.
• Maintain accurate pipeline management and forecasting in SalesCloud.

Collaboration & Deal Support

• Partner with CSMs and AEs to support expansion opportunities and ensure seamless execution of deals.
• Escalate larger opportunities to field sales teams when appropriate.
• Work cross‑functionally to align messaging and improve campaign effectiveness.
• Share customer insights and success stories to inform continuous improvement and sales enablement.

Pipeline Generation & Customer Engagement

• Identify and qualify new pipeline opportunities through inbound and outbound activity.
• Conduct regular customer engagement including calls, demos, and proposals to maintain strong relationships.
• Participate in pipeline reviews, performance meetings, and quarterly business reviews (QBRs).
