- Analyse industry trends and customer needs to identify new market opportunities and support strategic business growth.
- Prepare and deliver presentations, proposals, product demonstrations, and follow-up materials that help farmers evaluate the business case for adopting drone technology.
- Partner cross-functionally with marketing, product development, engineering, and operations teams to align customer requirements with product capabilities and commercial objectives.
