Your mission is to help prospects and customers clearly understand why Hive matters, how our solutions solve real business and technical challenges, and why video communication is a strategic asset at scale. You translate Hive’s technology, value proposition, and vision into compelling customer engagements that build trust, accelerate deal velocity, and unlock new revenue opportunities

You report into the Head of Growth, EMEA & APAC and work closely in a matrix setup with Product, Engineering, Support, and Partner teams.
