6. Engage directly with customers and prospects for discovery interviews, roadmap validation, and feedback loops.
7. Use quantitative and qualitative inputs to prioritize backlog and measure feature impact.
8. Champion AI-driven enhancements (for example: intelligent crawl guidance, finding triage assistance, risk prioritization, and workflow automation) while ensuring responsible and trustworthy use.
9. Monitor market and competitive trends in application security, DAST, and AI-enabled security tooling.
10. Support GTM and customer-facing activities including briefings, webinars, and strategic account conversations.
