- I also provided account management support to existing customers focused on contract amendments, account merges, payment collections and technical onboarding with our professional services team
- I am required to submit weekly forecasts and provide quarterly business reviews of existing pipeline, key accounts and account planning for the upcoming quarter
- There were three restructurings during my time at Pluralsight that resulted in continuous layoffs, account realignment, new processes and systems being implemented - with new product launches being introduced via platform integrations - that required versatility and having the ability to adapt to constant change.
