- Own and manage pre-sales activities, including design studies, feasibility studies, client prioritization, pricing profiles, go-to-market strategies, and overall scope approval for client deliveries.
- Partner closely with Product Management, Software Engineering, Client Success, and Project Management to align client needs, product roadmap, delivery scope, and long-term strategic direction.
