- Market & Competitive Intelligence
- Monitor market trends, regulatory shifts, and competitor activity across Europe to evolve strategy and prioritize opportunities.
- Provide insights to internal teams to enhance product-market fit and customer value propositions.
- Event Participation & Brand Positioning
- Identify and coordinate Trend Micro’s participation in key regional events to enhance visibility, generate leads, and foster partner relationships.
- Performance Management
- Manage a sales and partnership pipeline using CRM tools.
