  • Support Early Adoption - Occasionally assist in proof-of-value engagements post-sale by tuning agents and guiding customers toward self-sufficient enablement.
  • Own Technical Architecture Decisions - Oversee data modeling, identity resolution, real-time vs. batch patterns, data graph design, and activation strategies within D360.
  • Own Technical Enablement - Create and manage accessible technical documentation, knowledge bases, and FAQ resources to rapidly resolve internal technical inquiries, empowering specialist teams to handle technical discussions confidently.
