    • Market Intelligence: Monitor industry trends, competitor positioning, and consultant activity to inform business development strategies and product positioning.
    • Thought Leadership: Contribute to the creation and distribution of thought leadership content, including white papers, case studies, and event sponsorships.
    • Data & CRM Management: Maintain accurate records of consultant interactions, ratings, and opportunities in CRM systems. Analyze consultant databases to identify trends and opportunities.
