You thrive at the intersection of technology and commerce, equally comfortable whiteboarding a solution architecture with a partner’s engineering team and delivering a compelling product demonstration to a C-suite audience. Above all, you bring exceptional communication skills and the empathy to truly understand what customers need and the ability to translate that understanding into action across the organization.
