- Lead competitive intelligence for Customer roles, researching compensation trends, pay practices, incentive structures, and talent movement in the evolving technology and AI landscape
- Supplement survey data with recruiting signals, offer data, sales talent trends, and other real-time market sources
- Partner with Recruiting and People Partners on market insights and competitive positioning for hires at all levels

- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and executive-presenting skills
- Experience leading cross-functional initiatives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

## Preferred Experience and Skills
