- Drive adoption of platform capabilities - including AI-assisted booking, group travel features, direct content, and international expansion - by helping clients understand the value and supporting successful rollouts.
- Coordinate with internal teams including Product, Support, Finance, and Implementation to resolve issues, close open items, and deliver on commitments made to clients.
