• Communicate the technical and business value of ALPHACAM clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, Services, and Support teams to provide a consistent, solution-focused customer experience.
• Contribute to technical content, demonstration assets, presentations, and best-practice workflows that strengthen the ALPHACAM sales motion.
• Support customer and partner presentations, industry events, trade shows, and technical demonstrations as a subject-matter expert.
• Maintain current knowledge of ALPHACAM capabilities, CAM/CNC technology, manufacturing trends, and competitive solutions.
• Provide customer and prospect feedback to internal teams to support continuous product and solution improvement.
• Travel within Canada as required to support customer meetings, demonstrations, events, and sales opportunities.
