- Build account intelligence for Account Management: whitespace identification, risk signals, and retention tracking.
- Ensure every automation project is fully instrumented, validated, and stress-tested before scaling.
Team Leadership & Commercial Partnership:
- Recruit, lead, and mentor a senior, multi-region team across Europe and North America.
- Partner with regional Sales VPs to identify conversion bottlenecks and translate business needs into technical solutions.
- Quantify automation ROI by measuring time returned to quota-carrying roles and pipeline acceleration.
