• Ensure delivery excellence and customer success by collaborating closely with global Professional Services and Customer Success to meet deployment timelines, adoption targets, and expansion opportunities.
• Provide structured, data‑driven feedback from the region to Product, Marketing, and Revenue Operations on competitive dynamics, pricing expectations, localization requirements, and product gaps.
• Champion a metrics‑driven operating model for the region, leveraging dashboards and KPIs across pipeline, bookings, churn, NRR, implementation timelines, and partner performance to drive continuous improvement.
• Ensure compliance with local regulations, commercial practices, and contractual norms, working with Finance and Legal to structure scalable, low‑risk commercial frameworks in each priority market.
• Represent Premier at industry conferences, associations, and ecosystem events across MENA to elevate brand awareness, strengthen relationships, and position the company as a thought leader in construction tech and AI‑powered ERP.
