- Manage Ongoing Capacity (RTB): Run ongoing, run-the-business capacity management, balancing demand against available supply and surfacing risks and opportunities to leadership.

- Enable Bookings & Deal Support: Provide bookings support and deal support (deal desk, deal structuring), partnering with Sales to accelerate and de-risk Execution cycles.
