Build access to buying committees and influence stakeholders across business, technology, procurement, and finance.

Develop account-entry strategies, pursuit plans, and stakeholder maps for high-potential target organizations. Take ownership of commercial negotiations, pricing discussions, and contract closures in collaboration with internal teams. Maintain accurate CRM records and provide transparent reporting on pipeline health, conversion rates, and forecasted revenue. 5. Market Development and Collaboration Identify emerging market opportunities, industry trends, and competitive positioning within the US Data Analytics services landscape. Develop targeted go-to-market strategies for selected industries and customer segments. Work closely with marketing, presales, solutioning, and delivery teams to convert market opportunities into client engagements. Represent the organization at relevant industry forums, executive networking events, and client meetings.
