  • Customer obsessed . You actively engage with customers to build messaging that reflects realworld outcomes and use cases. You thrive on learning directly from users, prospects, and partners, and you use those insights to shape positioning, launches, and campaigns.
  • Collaborative and persuasive . You work crossfunctionally to drive alignment and impact, bringing together Product, Sales, and Marketing around a shared vision. Youre equally comfortable presenting to executives or partnering with the field to make strategy real.
