• Serve as the senior escalation point for strategic deal structuring, commercial negotiations, and high-value renewals.

• Maintain rigorous pipeline management and accurate multi-quarter forecasting using enterprise CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce).
• Lead high-impact Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with internal executive sponsors and external partner leadership to evaluate performance.
• Gather market and competitor intelligence to influence product roadmaps and strategic GTM investments.
