- Define and refine the Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy, ensuring it aligns with customer insights and business objectives.
- Conduct thorough research on competitors to understand the market landscape to position the product effectively.
- Develop compelling pitch decks and presentations to communicate the product's value to stakeholders and potential partners.

- You possess confident, clear, and concise communication abilities.
