• Qualify prospects through strong discovery covering business needs, technical context, urgency, and fit
• Partner with Enterprise AEs on clean handoffs, meeting context, and next steps
• Maintain accurate Salesforce data across accounts, contacts, activities, and opportunities
• Use Outreach, Salesforce, Apollo, and AI tools to improve prospecting, research, personalization, and follow-up
• Continuously refine messaging, targeting, and qualification through coaching, feedback, and performance data

• Emotional intelligence to build rapport quickly and adapt across technical and executive audiences
• Proactive, self-starting working style with consistent follow-up and ownership of results
