  • Collaborate with marketing, product management, and sales stakeholders to align messaging, campaigns, and sales tools.

  • Track pipeline activity, conversion trends, and partner performance to inform forecasting and strategy adjustments.

  • Prepare reports and presentations that communicate market opportunities, progress, and key growth metrics.

  • Help remove execution barriers so modernization opportunities can move efficiently from identification to close.

  • Own your initiatives with accountability and integrity, making decisions that support customer success, compliance, and safe execution.

  • Stay close to the work by working directly with sales teams, partners, and customers to understand site conditions and remove obstacles quickly.

  • Use data, market insights, and installed-base analysis to focus effort on the opportunities that matter most.

  • Apply continuous improvement through candid review of results, disciplined follow-up, and practical problem-solving.

  • Win as one team by building trust across Direct and Indirect channels and valuing diverse perspectives in planning and execution.

What we look for

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

  • Experience in strategic business development, channel sales, or growth-focused account planning.

  • Strong understanding of channel dynamics and partner-led selling models.

  • Ability to analyze data, identify trends, and translate insights into action plans.

  • Experience collaborating with sales teams, partners, and cross-functional stakeholders.

  • Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and drive initiatives through to completion.

Preferred

  • Experience with Metasys modernization, building controls, or related installed-base upgrade programs.

  • Familiarity with Salesforce and SAP for opportunity tracking, reporting, or pricing workflows.

  • Exposure to BMS, legacy infrastructure integration, or technical sales support.

  • Experience developing partner enablement materials, sales tools, or market segmentation plans.
