• Handle customer negotiation end-to-end, together with our legal and implementation specialist team

Executive Engagement:

• Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with C-level executives, heads of innovation/AI, and other key decision-makers within target organisations

• Comprehend their specific challenges and needs, positioning our solution as an integral part of their strategic initiatives

Technical Aptitude:

• Demonstrate a deep understanding of the technical intricacies of our product and articulate its value proposition effectively to potential clients

• Work side-by-side with our implementation team to ensure that customer's questions, concerns and challenges are taken care of during pre-sales, deployment and post-deployment phase

• Collaborate with our technical team to address any customer inquiries or concerns

Training and enablement:

• Empower internal teams with the knowledge and resources that you collect in customer conversations to drive product roadmap and align on priorities
