• Collaborate closely with internal product groups to understand product nuances, run product-specific campaigns, provide feedback, and facilitate new product development and go-to-market strategies.

• Assist with basic client issues and escalate to technical teams when necessary.
• Continuously learn and develop knowledge of pricing and index products.
