• Deliver compelling technical demos tailored to executive, practitioner, and platform audiences.
• Position Vega as a strategic alternative to legacy SIEM, security analytics, and data platforms, addressing scale, cost, and operational complexity.
• Support executive briefings, customer QBRs, and architecture reviews with senior security and IT leadership.
• Provide product feedback based on real-world customer use cases to influence roadmap and go-to-market strategy.
• Maintain accurate technical opportunity notes, evaluation plans, and PoV outcomes in Salesforce and internal systems.
• Stay current on evolving security analytics trends, cloud architectures, and AI-driven SOC workflows.
