  • Support prospects in identifying the best technical setup for their internal communications needs and help remove technical obstacles to advancing deals.
  • Assist in technical evaluations of the Staffbase platform, learning to provide recommendations for integrations and implementation.
  • Collaborate on RFP response documents to highlight the strengths of Staffbase’s solutions.
  • Work alongside senior team members during kick-off calls and onboarding to ensure customers are set up for success.
