- Develop the outbound motion: Represent Fora at industry conferences, trade shows, and regional events; build relationships on the ground.
- Over time, this person will own and shape Fora's outbound motion for high-value leads, including how we show up at industry conferences, build relationships on the ground, and convert warm pipeline into signed advisors.
