• Demos and Training: Build and present live or recorded product demonstrations, webinars, and technical training courses.

• Field Enablement: Support sales and customer success teams by providing deep technical context, competitive battlecards, and handling complex customer objections.

• Product Feedback Loop: Gather customer feedback via engagements and relay it back to IP MC-E technical teams to shape roadmaps.

• Proof of concepts: Work alongside the IP MC-E experience center team on the creation of compelling PoC and demonstrations that speed up the adoption of new IP networking, automation and AI networking deployments.

• Create and support remotely and in person IP MC-E demonstrations at our key customer (SReXperts and industry user group) events in conjunction with the IP MC-E and regional teams.
