Roadmap Alignment: Stay informed about Tenable product changes, evaluate requirements for offering updates, and plan portfolio updates well ahead of product release.
Advisory: Advise the Senior Director, Services Portfolio, on offering strategy, resourcing, and delivery risk.
Content Development & Delivery

Customer & Partner Engagement: Engage with customers and partners to analyze market trends and the competitive landscape, and translate findings into portfolio decisions.
Problem Solving: Provide solutions to a wide range of difficult problems while maintaining a positive attitude and positive working relationships, gathering information to support data-driven decisions.
