• Partner with Customer Success Managers (CSMs) to align commercial priorities with adoption and customer health signals; support (but do not own) EBR preparation and follow-up by providing commercial context and action plans.
• Partner with Sales Enablement and U.S. leadership to provide feedback on playbooks and enablement needs based on real-world execution.
• Participate in staggered-shift coverage aligned to U.S. and European time zones, including overlap into U.S. Pacific Time mornings (targeting availability through ~12:00 PM Pacific) to support live customer engagement and escalations.

• Proven ability to drive expansion outcomes (upsell / cross-sell) and to influence deal strategy.
• Exceptional spoken and written English communication skills and strong customer presence with U.S.-based customers.
