  • Own key customer relationships post-sell-in, ensuring long-term value and satisfaction
  • Collaborate with marketing to craft compelling decks, sampling programs, and channel-specific sales assets
  • Work closely with operations, education, and marketing to ensure handoffs are seamless and strategic
  • Deliver weekly KPI updates (conversion, revenue pacing, pipeline value, customer status) directly to the President
  • Build and manage a lean team of account managers or reps as needed to support growth

Qualifications
