| Accountability | What it means & why it matters |

| A. Trusted Advisor to Sales Leaders | Partner with the Country SE&O Lead and sales leaders to translate strategy into a clear execution agenda. Bring an independent, data-led point of view on performance, risks, trade-offs, and required interventions. |

Manager Coaching & Sales Fundamentals | Coach sales managers and account teams on account planning, opportunity management, customer decision processes, milestone quality, close plans, renewal and upsell motions, and use of sales insights. Hold a high bar for plan quality and reinforce consistent execution habits. |

| E. Insights to Action | Use sales, customer, partner, usage, marketing, and competitive signals to identify white space, diagnose performance gaps, and recommend targeted actions. Simplify complex data into a clear business narrative that leaders and sellers can act on. |

| F. Transformation, Simplicity & Change | Land evolving tools, and processes with a seller-centric mindset. Use data and AI to reduce manual effort, improve visibility, and scale best practices while preserving clear accountability across Sales Excellence, SE&O, Finance, and sales leadership. |
