• Working knowledge of CRM tools and a disciplined approach to pipeline management
• Comfort explaining technical products to audiences from PhD researchers to purchasing managers
• Strong organization and follow-through, especially in a small-team environment
• Willingness to travel occasionally for trade shows and customer visits
