- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner seamlessly with Engineering, GTM, Customer Success, and Accenture stakeholders. Align roadmaps to broader business priorities and external partner objectives
- Deliver Impact: Maintain a strong bias for action. Prioritize initiatives based on business impact, customer value, and strategic fit. Hold teams accountable for outcomes, not just outputs
- Be the Voice of the Customer and Market: Advocate relentlessly for user needs while balancing technical feasibility and commercial goals. Stay connected to customer pain points and market shifts
- Drive Communication and Alignment: Facilitate clarity across teams and executives. Simplify complex concepts and foster alignment through effective storytelling and structured discussions

Previous experience navigating enterprise acquisition environments (either as part of the acquired team or acquirer) preferred

Therefore, Udacity strongly encourages applications from all communities and backgrounds.
