• Keeping informed of product lines, industry trends, changes, and competitor actions that may impact client business activities

• Working strategically with the broader sales team to deliver forecasts, identify trending opportunities/challenges, and provide recommended solutions

• Supporting the team with the development and implementation of comprehensive business development strategies aligned with the company's overarching goals and objectives
