- Experience selling services to industrial facilities and large organizations.
- Ability to build relationships from the plant level through corporate and executive leadership.
- Understanding of industrial maintenance, reliability, capital projects, outages, or specialty contracting.
- Ability to understand technical customer needs and bring together the right resources to develop solutions.
- Strong commercial judgment, communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
- Experience with account planning, CRM systems, pipeline management, and forecasting.
- Willingness to travel regularly based on assigned customer accounts.
Preferred industry experience includes: power generation, pulp and paper, cement and lime, chemical and refining, manufacturing, mining and minerals, steel and metals, food and beverage, or other heavy industrial markets.
What Success Looks LikeYou'll be successful by growing revenue and profitability within strategic accounts, expanding IAG into additional customer locations and business units, introducing new service lines, increasing recurring revenue, and developing deeper relationships across customer organizations.
A key measure of success will be expanding the percentage of assigned customers utilizing multiple Industrial Access Group service lines.
As a Strategic Account Manager, you'll have the opportunity to represent a broad portfolio of capabilities and bring together the people, expertise, and services our customers need-all while developing relationships that create long-term value for both the customer and IAG.
