Strategic Business Manager
Own one or more Strategic or Global Accounts—client organizations with scaled facilities and unified network and system needs. Carry a personal revenue target tied to those accounts. Lead an account team that fully represents the customer inside the company: develop the account, own the sales process, and ensure quality delivery through the account's engineering and dedicated division technical groups in the USA and EU. Scope scales with account size; a single large account may be a full-time focus, while multiple smaller accounts may be grouped under one manager. Report directly to the Director or VP, Global & Strategic Accounts.
