Collaborate with sales, product, and engineering teams to develop proof-of-concept and implementation strategies. Support RFP/RFI responses and contribute to winning technical recommendations through strong solution positioning. Maintain strong customer relationships while identifying business needs and translating them into scalable technical solutions. Participate in sales pipeline reviews and ensure accurate documentation of customer technical environments in CRM systems.
