About the Role

As a Senior Account Executive at Fictiv, you will work closely with some of the most exciting companies in the world to help them bring amazing products to market. This role is uniquely positioned to serve as the critical bridge between Fictiv India and a key India-based customer, coordinating across in-region teams, U.S.-based leadership, and our supplier network to deliver a seamless, world-class manufacturing experience.

You will ensure Fictiv fully understands the customer's business goals — including financial KPIs, vision and mission, key initiatives, organizational structures, and operating models such as in-house manufacturing capabilities and R&D labs. You will also seek to understand their internal decision-making structures and develop the right relationships within those structures.

You will learn about their product roadmaps, requirements, challenges, and priorities in bringing products to market, as well as their partnerships — design partners, contract manufacturers, local shop preferences, and more. With this knowledge, you will configure the optimal solution to address those requirements while improving their time to market.

You will work on identifying and developing both prototyping opportunities and production-class manufacturing programs that allow customers to develop, launch, and deliver products at speeds never before thought possible. Your proven leadership skills will be essential to coordinating the efforts of a highly capable Fictiv team and platform that supports you at every opportunity.

You will deliver sales presentations and organize on-site meetings — including quarterly business reviews, tech days, and other face-to-face meetings — to instill confidence, build relationships, and grow customer lifetime value. You will develop relationships at every level of an organization, from mechanical engineers to supply chain managers to C-level executives, to build trust in Fictiv as the go-to partner for all custom manufacturing needs.
