closely with pre‑sales engineers, partners, and internal stakeholders.</li>\n<li>Ultimately, be accountable for winning new business, negotiating complex agreements, and building durable, long‑term client relationships at both the working and executive levels.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">What You’ll Bring to the Role</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Proven success selling
