- Build a strong coaching culture with consistent, actionable feedback on discovery quality, demo execution, preparation, and deal strategy
- Partner with the Director of SE and Sales leadership on headcount planning, role design, and hiring
- Design and facilitate SE deal reviews for Corp and MM: structured agendas, clear ownership, and documented follow-ups
- Lead demo reviews and call analysis sessions focused on elevating discovery, storytelling, and customer alignment

- Implement and maintain consistent SE deal scoring across Corporate and Mid-Market opportunities
- Use SE scores to identify technical risk or misalignment early and drive corrective action with AEs
- Partner with frontline Sales managers so SE input becomes a reliable, visible component of the forecast
- Surface recurring product or solution gaps through SE scoring and route findings to Product and Professional Services
- Serve as the primary SE counterpart to Corporate and Mid-Market AEs and Sales managers
- Clarify and enforce SE rules of engagement for downmarket segments
- Protect SE capacity by redirecting mis-routed or low-value requests to appropriate resources
