• Industry Representation: Support webinars, events, and technical sessions to evangelize ControlMonkey’s solution.
• Post-Sales: Support QBR/EBRs and ensure customer adoption and satisfaction.

• Strong communication and presentation skills, including live demos and whiteboarding sessions.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with evolving product and processes.
