• Pipeline & instrumentation - Define the canonical B2B funnel (visits trials MQL SQL ARR). Stand up end-to-end tracking, attribution, and dashboards for CAC, LTV, payback. Partner with Data Science and Engineering teams on clean event taxonomy and source-of-truth models.

• RevOps alignment - Partner with Sales/RevOps on lead scoring, routing, and feedback loops to maximize lead-to-close velocity.

• Customer & market discovery - skilled at structured user interviews, JTBD analysis, TAM sizing, and competitive benchmarking to inform roadmap choices.
