Responsibilities include designing sales methodology and funnel governance, improving installed-base and MRO opportunity capture, establishing performance KPIs and operating cadences, strengthening channel effectiveness, reducing process friction, developing sales tools and playbooks, and leading cross-functional sales effectiveness initiatives.
