  • Advise customers on new Pragma features, releases, and partner integration by developing examples, performing demonstrations, or coordinating proof of concept projects with studios.

  • Help develop and deliver pre-sales demos, demonstrating the value of the Pragma Platform.

  • Communicate with your team and product management about how studios are leveraging Pragma

  • Capture studios usage or objectives internally through thorough documentation, training materials, and demos, highlighting best practices.
