This role requires strong analytical skills, cross-functional collaboration, and influence along with the ability to deal with ambiguity while building and transforming for scale.

- Drive customer cross-sell and up-sell opportunities through analysis and experimentation into solution packaging (suites, bundles, etc.) that balances portfolio-level simplification with value capture
- Analyze and develop waterfall levers to help improve deal-level discounting and incentivize desired outcomes
- Assess price realization for different product families to identify and execute on optimization initiatives
- Connect and align customer maturity models and better together use cases into portfolio packaging, pricing model constructs, and enterprise buying programs
