- Support new business by engaging during late-stage sales conversations and ensuring a high-quality handoff from Sales that sets the client relationship up for long-term success.

- Contribute to team development by sharing coverage knowledge, mentoring Client Managers, and participating in onboarding and training initiatives as the function scales.
- Leverage AI-powered tools (Vouch proprietary systems, AI copilots) to increase coverage accuracy, renewal efficiency, and client communication quality—and actively identify opportunities to improve workflows.
