By working closely with the technical Interlock team, PM, PMM, and Sales, you'll help define and articulate the technical value of new GTM motions via persona-based 2nd call technical selling decks and associated demos and workshops that focus on driving customer consumption and value realization milestones. These assets will allow increased consistency and scaling across the field technical selling teams, reducing the time to technical win. You will be the executive technical lead representing the field organization for one of the portfolio segments within the internal executive and GTM discussions. This role will be tightly aligned with our technical interlock team, ensuring the solutions and roadmap items align with R&D, the associated Hashicorp Validated Designs, and field-facing customer journey assets.
