Responsibilities

  • Own pre-sales technical work: build reusable demo environments, run private demos on prospect data
  • Post-sales: work alongside engineers on implementations, data integrations, and customer feedback loops
  • Drive technical relationship management — sit with analysts at PE firms, understand their workflows
  • Act as the voice of the customer, identifying what should be productised vs. one-off
