  • Communicate effectively with clients, partners, employees and key stakeholders

Responsibilities

  • Develop requisite plans : a) five year strategic plan, b) product roadmap
  • Identify business models to maximize growth, profitability and strategic appeal to alliance partners
  • Identify and target markets (location, size, industry, etc.) and refine target profile based on successes
  • Marketing promotion including collaterals and presentations, public relations and social media management
  • Identify target prospects and execute operational plan to win business
  • Accountability to achieve objectives and make adjustments based on operational results
  • Grow, satisfy and retain clients

Requirements
