• Engage with customers, partners and industry influencers to promote customer success stories, strengthen relationships and grow the global user community.
• Provide industry insight and competitive intelligence to internal teams to inform product direction, sales strategy and executive‑level messaging.
• Maintain and deepen GIS and industry domain expertise, supporting internal requests, partner engagements, analyst briefings and customer meetings with authoritative knowledge.

Requirements

• 8+ years of progressively responsible experience working within a relevant geospatial authority industry with demonstrated leadership and subject‑matter expertise.
