Build relationships with key industry players, trade organizations, and decision-makers to maintain top-of-mind awareness. Represent Pixly at industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities. Identify proactive growth opportunities across existing relationships and industry networks. Establish best practices for new business processes, tools, and ways of working. Occasional travel and flexibility to work non-traditional hours, including evenings and weekends, as business needs arise.
