• Participate in regional and national user group meetings, both virtually and in person, representing the Assets & Inventory product area.
• Develop a deep understanding of competitors' capabilities within the asset management and inventory space for public safety.

• Ability to take customer requests, determine the desired end state, and provide a clear, efficient path to the best solution.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with attention to detail.
