- Identify new product/service offerings that match the client's next-phase needs (for example: AI accelerator, cost optimisation, internal dev-platform, Kubernetes automation) and help position them
- Lead internal lessons-learned and continuous improvement: capture what works in the account, feed improvements back into Appvia's offering
- Work cross-functionally: with sales/pre-sales, product teams, consulting/engineering, finance, and marketing/referrals to ensure the account's growth and delivery success
