• Translate customer drawings, specifications, and technical needs into clear direction for overseas engineering and manufacturing partners.
• Coordinate RFQs, pricing follow-up, commercial discussions, and internal responses for new and expanding programs.
• Identify whitespace opportunities across power distribution, enclosure, rack, busbar, and precision-manufactured component applications.
• Guide customer programs from early technical discussions through prototyping, qualification, launch, and ongoing production support.
• Maintain clear visibility into priorities, project status, risks, and next steps while keeping both customer and internal teams aligned.
• Develop account plans and opportunity pipelines that convert existing momentum into sustainable long-term growth.

Skill Set:

• Approximately 3 to 7 years of relevant experience in technical account management, business development, program management, or consultative sales.
