This is a ‘hunter’ role, so applicants must have a strong track record of effectively developing new business with new strategic customers using a systemic approach to managing a portfolio of new opportunities through the sales funnel. While the key focus of the role is new business with new customers, there is also an expectation that this role will help sell new opportunities within existing customers (e.g., cross‑selling) in collaboration with company resources handling ongoing customer business.
