The role works closely with Applications Engineering, Hivemind engineering and Customer Success. 

Success is defined by trusted learning products that ship, shorter time to technical proficiency, faster and more consistent workshop development, content that stays current with Hivemind releases, and clear evidence that training improves customer capability and product adoption.
