- Design, test, and iterate on first-time co-sell experiments with select partners across Sales and Marketing teams to align with demand generation campaigns and regional priorities
- Drive operational visibility into early stage co-sell activity, driving account mapping, partner interlocks, and pipeline visibility and execution to determine when experiments need more iteration or is ready to scale
Who You Are (Success Profile)
