We are looking for our next Enterprise Advocate to join the RStudio team. In this role, you will engage with prospective customers to share and demonstrate cutting edge technologies in the growing Data Science field. The majority of your interactions will be people who already know, use, and love RStudio’s open-source offerings. It will be your role to continue to educate them on the benefits of our enterprise editions.
To be successful you must be able to engage others using a variety of mediums and be able to manage a large number of opportunities to closure efficiently. You should thrive on individual contributions with a team orientation as you will be working closely with a BDR team to assist you with lead qualification. You must have a passion for working with customers and a curiosity for learning the technology and learning more about data science and the R language.
Having a degree or background in statistics, data science, mathematics or database management is a plus. Experience in sales, consulting, marketing or customer service would be typical backgrounds and relevant skills. This is an incredible opportunity to gain exposure to an industry that will only continue to grow while working alongside some of the leaders in Data Science.
You will also be responsible for achieving measurable growth in new business through prospecting accounts by providing education and product-planning updates. Finally, because of RStudio’s position within the R community, it is critical that you be our eyes, ears, and voice to continue to learn about, contribute to, and be a preacher of R, RStudio, and our community’s unique culture.
