Support the development and maintenance of knowledge base and customer support materials.
Design, deliver, and continuously improve inclusive, high-impact product demonstrations across Itron’s solution portfolio, clearly linking technical capabilities to customer outcomes and business value.
Lead customer-focused, lab-based evaluations that validate integrated solutions, build trust, and support complex, high-priority sales pursuits in regulated utility environments.

Collaborate closely with Product Management and Services to ensure demonstrations reflect product roadmaps, deployment realities, and customer priorities.
Create internal tools, scripts, videos, and enablement assets that improve access to consistent, high-quality demonstration materials.
