• Oversee the CAD implementation of the product
• Work with the Training team to update training materials to deliver an outstanding training experience
• Work with the training and marketing teams to ensure new features are successfully deployed and understood
• Assist growth with vetting customer workflows for downstream planning

• You have at least two to five years of experience working as a product consultant, public safety professional, or implementing a CAD system.

Additional Preferred Qualifications:

People who thrive on our team also tend to share the following characteristics

• HUMBLE, OPEN, AND CURIOUS. You recognize there are numerous ways to solve a problem or implement a strategy. You gain various perspectives and consider the impact on the customer and other teams before making a decision. You also promote team diversity and diversity of thought.
• ATTENTIVE, ACTIVE LISTENERS. You're interested in what others have to say and illustrate your interest with your actions. You listen with empathy and ask follow up questions to determine what your team and customers would like to achieve. You are comfortable with conflict because conflict provides an opportunity to help solve problems.
• COMFORTABLE WITH UNCERTAINTY. You know that sometimes problems and situations can't be simplified or fully understood; you know where to find information to help bring clarity to a situation, but you also understand that you won't always have all the information when making decisions. You invite change and help your team and customers navigate change.
• ENTHUSIASTIC COLLABORATORS. You understand that the best outcomes are achieved through shared ownership, and you seek to spread knowledge and expand participation rather than restrict it. As a Lead, you need to work cross-functionally to achieve successful outcomes for your team and customers.
