• At least 5 years of experience working with technical products in B2B markets.
• Experience working internationally or in global teams.

• Strong strategic thinking and the ability to turn market insights into actionable plans.
• A history of successful product launches and driving results in B2B markets.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in collaborative environments.
