• Continuously build the technical competence of indirect and direct sales teams through enablement, coaching, and structured support.
• Partner with Product Marketing to strengthen messaging, collateral, and sales tools to increase market impact.

Proposal Excellence & Commercial Governance

• Partner with the proposal team to ensure accurate, value-differentiated proposals are presented to customers.
• Review bid packages, complete product selection, and support project negotiations with disciplined commercial judgment.
• Develop comprehensive proposals including pricing, technology selection, and clarification of order requirements.
• Establish and maintain margin goals through list price adherence, cost estimates, and sell-price recommendations.
• Support customers with contract interpretation and modifications, coordinating customer visits as needed.

Demand Conversion & Opportunity Follow-Through

• Follow through on qualified new business opportunities provided by internal demand generation teams, moving opportunities to closure with urgency and rigor.
• Demonstrate the ability to motivate and influence others to meet business objectives.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Success Measures (How Performance is Evaluated)
