This role is critical to driving major improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of our Solutions team, and to using those learnings to build forward-looking capacity and delivery forecasts that integrate pre-sales requirements with best-in-class post-sale delivery and accelerate our ability to leverage Mistral to unlock value for our customers.
