The Role

We are currently looking for an individual to develop cross-domain automation solutions during project pursuit, develop a plan for execution by NECI's execution teams, and then monitor and govern the execution process. This individual will provide sales and technical leadership for one or more data related products based on expertise.

How You’ll Be Successful

• Develop a plan for engaging customers in new areas (e.g., blitz), work with business development and account managers to identify opportunities and engage target customers in billable consulting engagements.
• Ability to work on, monitor, and govern multiple project and project pursuits concurrently.

What You’ll Do

• Develop a plan for achieving product and service sales targets annually and work with account managers and business development to pursue sales and marketing opportunities and lead the technical portion of the proposal process.

• Work with customers to reduce project risk and cost through early project engagement to develop requirements, conceptual designs, and basis of designs. Once NECI’s project delivery teams are engaged and only when required to reduce project risk and cost, serve as a technical consultant to the project delivery team, monitor and govern project execution, optimize the project delivery and estimation process, and deliver training.
• Develop and own sales targets for products and associated services, support business development requests, identify growth opportunities, develop sales and marketing collateral, educate account managers and business development, periodically perform industry presentations (e.g., ISPE, ISA, Emerson Exchange), serve a technical subject matter expert (SME), and mentor and advise technical leads.
