• 5+ years of experience in a technical consulting role supporting mid-market or enterprise customers

• A strong sense of empathy, enabling a deep understanding of our customers’ needs

• Proven ability to communicate credibly and effectively with stakeholders at all levels, and to build strong relationships with highly technical customers

You Will
