Commercial operations and internal discipline • Maintain accurate and timely updates in CRM, Gong/revenue intelligence and relevant AI tools, including opportunities, next steps, stakeholders, activity history and forecast context. • Follow internal sales guidelines for renewals, access extensions, approvals and contract-closing processes. • Prepare proposals, business cases and internal updates with clear assumptions, client context, commercial rationale and next-step ownership.
