  • Build and maintain robust account plans, including stakeholder maps, opportunity strategies, and multi‑year growth plans
  • Collaborate closely with Solutions Consultants, Customer Success, Marketing, and Partners to ensure seamless execution and long‑term customer value

  • Exposure to WMS
  • Experience selling platforms related to operations, workforce enablement, digital transformation, or knowledge management
