Deal Pursuit & Close Support: Partners directly with SAP DoD account executives to co-pursue and co-close SAP software deals, positioning C5MI as the premier services partner on each opportunity. Attends customer meetings, demos, and executive briefings as a joint C5MI–SAP representative, articulating the combined value proposition to DoD program offices and CIOs. Manages relationships with existing SAP DoD accounts to identify upsell, expansion, and modernization opportunities across the SAP portfolio. Customer & Market Intelligence: Maintains deep knowledge of each major DoD customer’s SAP landscape, including current deployments, known pain points, budget cycles, and modernization priorities. Tracks SAP and NS2 product roadmaps, licensing changes, and DoD-specific compliance requirements (e.g., CMMC, FedRAMP, IL4/IL5/IL6) and translates these into actionable intelligence for the C5MI sales team. Provides regular reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer on pipeline status, relationship health, competitive threats, and market trends.
