+ Developing and validating applications using UR & MiR technology: performing simulations and feasibility studies, and identifying and mitigating technical risks.
+ Collaborating with sales teams and partners - participating in meetings, customer visits, and line walks, identifying automation potential, and generating qualified opportunities.
+ Building proofs of concept and demonstrations, and delivering training and enablement programmes for partners and integrators.
+ Ensuring CRM transparency - actively using Salesforce, documenting validation statuses, risks, and customer interactions, and reporting line walk outcomes.
+ Working with regional and HQ teams - sharing best practices and market feedback, optimizing existing installations, and taking part in trade fairs, preparing case studies and marketing materials.
