Responsibilities

Help each team member hit their targets through clear expectations, rigorous follow‑up, and continuous coaching on methodology, deal execution, and pipeline management.
Be in the field with the team: prospect, join key meetings, support difficult negotiations, and own strategic opportunities to maximize win rates.
Empower every team member: create the conditions for each person to meet and exceed their goals by fostering a strong feedback culture, coaching, clear ownership, and autonomy.
Ensure market fit and remove blockers: surface customer expectations, recurring patterns, and operational blockers, and ensure they’re addressed through appropriate strategic and execution plans (product, pricing, ops, marketing, etc.).
