  • Partner with the marketing team to develop content that will resonate with lawyers, tailored to the unique needs of their practice areas and client types.

  • Act as the “Voice of the Customer,” using your legal perspective to help the broader sales team to develop and implement more effective strategies and synthesize customer feedback for the product team through a legal lens.
