Lead customer advocacy through references, case studies, and conference opportunities; oversee customer success for initial US deployments; build a procurement practitioner network; and synthesize buyer feedback to guide product positioning and development. The role requires extensive procurement leadership experience, enterprise technology rollout expertise, industry influence, and strong executive communication skills.
