• Learn about customers’ products and goals, then help connect them with suitable AMD technologies and specialist support.
• Build relationships with new and existing customers through visits, technical discussions, demonstrations, and follow-up.
• Take ownership of customer questions and opportunities, coordinating with colleagues and AMD specialists when needed.
• Prepare clear presentations, demonstrations, training material, and written updates.
• Keep learning about AMD products and share useful knowledge with customers and the team.
• Use agentic AI tools to help plan and carry out multi-step work, such as research, preparing materials, organizing follow-up, and exploring technical questions. Review the results, check important claims against reliable sources, and protect customer and company information.
