As the voice of the customer, your findings will influence product teams to help them evolve the products and address issues, concerns, and requests from the field. To be effective, you will need to review key customer insights from business drivers, market trends and customer feedback, and operating metrics.

You will be responsible for establishing clear goals for your team, including quotas. You will ensure that your team is managing opportunities effectively throughout the sales cycle and practicing good pipeline hygiene. You will be expected to plan and allocate for the best use of team resources in order to meet goals and quotas.
