• Skilled at driving product launches with partners from concept to measurable wins.
• Confident representing Swift to partners and partners to Swift, turning competing viewpoints into fast, aligned decisions.
• Strong communicator across every level, internally and externally.

Desired Skills/Experience

• 5+ years of business development, product management or sales experience in technical software/services markets, with startup energy — thrives on ambiguity, moves fast, gets things done.
