Collaborate closely with the team on localization, customer communication, and structured feedback loops. Provide weekly reporting on lead flow, performance metrics, and customer insights. Support outbound experiments (e.g., targeted outreach, event‑based campaigns) and share learnings with HQ and local team. Contribute to optimizing the sales process, improving structure and efficiency alongside the team. Help prepare and refine the sales playbook and market learnings together with the Country Lead.
