- Partner with Sales and commercial leadership on proposals and order forms, ensuring technical deliverability.
- Lead solution workshops and guide configuration of lane qualification, command center, and automated product release modules through go‑live.
- Coordinate with Product, Data, and Engineering to sequence deliverables, manage handoffs, and feed real customer patterns back into the roadmap.
- Build reusable assets such as reference solution designs, discovery question banks, scoping templates, and integration patterns.

- Proven ability to run technical discovery with cross‑functional stakeholders and translate requirements into end‑to‑end solution designs.
- Experience scoping and sequencing implementation plans, sizing effort, and identifying dependencies and long‑lead items.
