• Identify and pursue new and existing customer opportunities to drive volume and revenue growth, while consistently meeting or exceeding sales targets through proactive deal-closing and effective negotiation, addressing any concerns or objections to secure successful outcomes.
• Monitor account performance by using data insights to guide decisions, spot risks early, and resolve issues proactively. Prepare clear reports for both internal and external stakeholders, highlighting wins and improvement areas, and stay hands-on when needed to ensure smooth execution that meets customer expectations.
• Stay informed on industry trends, market conditions, and competitor activities to proactively identify potential threats and uncover new growth opportunities, while preparing and delivering compelling presentations and proposals to potential clients.
• Work closely with teams to spot and fix issues early, improve service, and support business growth. Coordinate with operations to meet customer needs, and collaborate with success, legal, finance  and customer care to ensure a smooth and positive customer experience.
