- Coordinate internal cross-functional support with Finance, Legal, Operations, and Product teams to orchestrate contract execution (Incident Response Services Agreements), deal redlines, and rapid deployment operations.
- Maintain pipeline hygiene, record account activities, and track opportunity updates in Salesforce.
