Participate in structured discovery and strategy conversations to understand institutional goals, challenges, and readiness, working in partnership with sales, SBAs, and services teams.

Collaborate within a team‑based model, contributing your functional expertise while supporting broader opportunity ownership and continuity from presales into delivery. Build credibility and trust with institutional stakeholders — including staff, administrators, and decision‑makers — through clear communication, practical insight, and higher‑ed expertise. Support competitive and complex pursuits by helping customers visualize outcomes, assess fit, and move forward with confidence.
