Working closely with Applied AI Engineering, Partnerships, and Product teams, you'll help partners embed and deploy AI while uncovering its full range of capabilities.

• Strong coaching skills that raise team performance through deal coaching and account strategy, combined with personal effectiveness alongside executives on high-priority opportunities
