- Build agentic decision flows that embed ConCON intelligence into existing business processes and workflows.
- Act as a connective tissue across go-to-market, product, delivery, and engineering teams to ensure aligned execution.
- Coach junior team members on technical acumen, client management, and product configuration.
- Contribute to platform feedback loops by translating field experience into prioritized product improvements.
