Experience supporting customer-facing technical engagements such as adoption reviews, health checks, operational reviews, escalation management, implementation advisory, enablement sessions, or executive business reviews that help customers sustain and expand technical value.
Ability to learn new technologies, understand customer operating models, and guide customers through technical change with proactive planning, risk awareness, and follow-through.
