- Forecast accurately and operate with consistent, high-velocity execution to meet or exceed quota.

- Fluency in English and German

- Curiosity and learning velocity—can pick up technical concepts quickly and explain them clearly.
- Hands-on orientation with AI: uses AI to improve personal workflow and can speak to modern AI-enabled work patterns.
