- Ensure technical integrity and success by reviewing and validating architecture, sizing, and quotes proposed by partners, aligning solutions with customer requirements and product capabilities.
- Accelerate partner self-sufficiency by driving the awareness and adoption of Pure's sales and technical tools, and coordinating enablement resources (e.g., specialists, training) for partner bootcamps and workshops.
