  • Proactively provide feedback and recommendations to leadership to evolve team strategy, tools, and performance models
  • Facilitate evaluations, reviews, and performance plans while maintaining proper documentation

  • Natural cross-functional collaborator who aligns with Marketing, Customer Success, Strategy, and Operations
  • Track record of fostering a high-engagement, inclusive culture and driving measurable team performance
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment that requires cross-functional collaboration and adaptability
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 15% for customer meetings, reviews, and industry events across the US
