• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Operations and external partners to gather responses and evidence required during procurement processes.
• Explain security controls and risk management practices in a way that is both accurate and confidence‑building.

AI and Platform Expertise

• Develop deep expertise in our platform architecture and product roadmap.
• Help clients understand how AI functionality operates within the platform and how it aligns with their governance and risk requirements.

Required Experience

• Experience in Solutions Consulting, Sales Engineering, Technical Pre‑Sales, Solutions Architecture or a similar client‑facing technical role.
