💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves analyzing expansion pipeline data to prioritize deals, meeting with key regional stakeholders to build relationships, coordinating with SDRs and Account Executives on customer outreach, and strategizing with Customer Success on increasing share of wallet. You might also plan regional marketing events while monitoring budget performance and providing guidance to cross-functional pod teams.
