The role combines local business development with hands-on field operations, taking opportunities from introductions or direct outreach through to successful deployments.

They develop a practical country playbook and serve as the main link between local partners and Sieve’s U.S. team. Sieve provides hardware, training, and support moving partnerships forward.
