• Conduct data analysis to support the pilots such as gathering and synthesizing data to measure success or failure of the pilots
• Work with marketing teams to develop collateral that communicates the value of the solutions to clients and helps them get started
• Work with potential partners to evaluate their capabilities, define use cases, commercial constructs and contributing to investment decisions

To excel in this role, you need to be well-rounded in product strategy and analytics
