Maintaining accurate sales data will be part of your rhythm, including timely CRM updates that reflect customer insights, pipeline status, and forecast expectations.
• With a strategic approach to territory and opportunity planning, you will drive results that support monthly, quarterly, and annual revenue goals. 
• You will regularly engage technical stakeholders within development and platform teams in order to identify where Port can deliver the most value.
• Collaboration will be central to your success, working with Sales Engineers and executives to strengthen relationships across key accounts. You will also partner with Engineering to surface opportunities for new capabilities that elevate the impact Port delivers to customers.
