• Strong understanding of technical sales best practices, including discovery, demo delivery, and solution design.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a larger, cross-functional team (Sales, Product, Engineering, Customer Success).
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
