Value proposition and pricing: Differentiate our offer from the market; identify the best product offering to become a leader in this segment.
Go‑to‑Market strategy: Work on renewal (account management) and expansion strategy (business development); adapt and innovate in distribution channels, sub‑segments, and partner management.
P&L ownership & resources allocation: Own the return on investment of your segment and build the case for internal resources allocation based on your P&L.
Product trade‑off: Work with product teams to build the best product based on market insights.
