• Customer Use Cases: Develop in-depth customer persona profiles, mapping out use cases, value drivers, and buyer journeys to inform opportunities and refine market segmentation. Facilitate customer advocacy and gather feedback to share product enhancements.
• Demand Generation: Work with internal teams and business units to develop targeted demand generation initiatives. Monitor campaign performance, applying rigorous analytical skills to refine tactics and ensure marketing efforts translate into pipeline growth and revenue impact.
