4. Deliver value at scale - Use scalable tools, data, and insights to prioritize and plan your client engagement strategy across a wide book of business. Tapping into your industry knowledge, sales experience, and product expertise, determine what engagement level (light touch to in-depth relationship building) is required to meet client needs.
4. Embrace change as an opportunity - You will have a growth mindset: learning if you don't understand, accepting challenges, growing through failure; viewing uncertainty as an opportunity to thrive.
5. Collaboration creates value - Seek to support new team members as they learn about our products and processes. Share your knowledge and empower your peers. Liaise with cross-functional teams on structuring and executing operational and strategic initiatives.
