The transportation portfolio will include airports, ports, transit authorities, rail and other transportation infrastructure organizations across the assigned geography.

The ideal candidate should be able to autonomously navigate the SLED and transportation business landscape. Specifically, the candidate should understand the public sector procurement process, including how to research, analyze and influence solicitations; align sales activities to customers' legislative, budget and capital-planning cycles; build champions among appointed executives and operational leaders; and position Schneider Electric solutions throughout the value chain of consultants, engineering firms, EPCs, contractors, integrators, OEMs, distributors and channel partners.

Core Responsibilities

• Originate, shape, qualify and win complex Public Sector opportunities, with Transportation as the primary growth focus.
• Develop and execute strategic account plans for assigned airports, ports, transit authorities, rail and other transportation infrastructure accounts across DC, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
• Build trusted relationships with executive, engineering, operations, procurement, sustainability and technology stakeholders.
• Engage early in major capital, modernization, electrification and infrastructure programs to influence requirements and position Schneider Electric ahead of formal procurement.
• Identify and develop opportunities across Schneider Electric's electrification, power distribution, automation, digitalization, software, services and sustainability portfolio.
• Develop relationships throughout the transportation project ecosystem, including consulting engineers, EPCs, contractors, system integrators, OEMs, distributors and strategic partners.
• Lead the One Schneider account team and coordinate business units, technical experts and pursuit resources around strategic customer opportunities.
• Build and maintain a healthy pipeline of near-, mid- and long-term opportunities aligned with customer capital plans and investment priorities.
• Maintain timely and accurate CRM hygiene, account plans, opportunity strategies, forecasting and pipeline development.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to a diverse group of senior public sector leaders.
• Reflect the Voice of the Customer to inform internal planning, solution development and investment priorities.
• Support a select portfolio of Higher Education, municipal and other SLED accounts within the assigned geography as business priorities require.

Preferred Experience and Capabilities

• Demonstrated success selling complex solutions into Public Sector, infrastructure or transportation customers.
• Experience navigating long-cycle, multi-stakeholder capital projects and public procurement environments.
• Understanding of how infrastructure opportunities move from owner planning and consultant design through specification, procurement, construction, modernization and lifecycle services.
• Ability to develop relationships at both executive and technical or operational levels.
• Proven ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and multiple business units around large strategic pursuits.
• Experience influencing consulting engineers, EPCs, contractors, system integrators, OEMs and channel partners.
• Strong strategic account planning, opportunity development, forecasting and CRM discipline.
