  • Proven experience driving product-level or solution-level integrations, with ownership of ecosystem strategy that delivers measurable business outcomes
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills bridging BD with Product, Engineering, and Marketing
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills; able to articulate complex technical value propositions to diverse audiences

Nice to have
