• Support the commercial team throughout the deal lifecycle by preparing materials for client meetings, capturing notes and next steps, and coordinating handoffs between sales, client success, and production.
• Maintain trackers, pipeline reports, and campaign summaries in Excel, and keep CRM and internal records accurate and up to date.
• Use AI tools responsibly to accelerate drafting, formatting, research, and summarization, and identify manual steps that could be templated or automated.
• Partner with client success, sales, production, and finance to keep approvals and billing information moving on schedule.
