What you’ll bring to the role

You are an entrepreneurial and industrious leader that thrives collaborating with teammates that challenge you to grow every day. Your background in Sales/GTM gives you the confidence to hit the ground running to quickly add value and rigor to Grafana’s field teams. You carefully balance the ability to put a hard technical problem under a microscope, without losing sight of the bigger picture required to effectively communicate with stakeholders.  You prioritize those things that are important and urgent (instead of just doing more).
