  • Ability to travel 40% of the time.
  • A valid driver's license.
  • Typically, 5+ years of experience in manufacturing operations or supporting manufacturing customers.

  • Experience leading complex, cross-functional pre-sales pursuits in global organizations.
  • Familiarity with advanced analytics, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, or neural networks.

Responsibilities

  • Own customer engagement, technical discovery, opportunity qualification, and coordination of pre-sales activities supporting MPC/APC sales opportunities.

  • Collaborate with delivery teams to validate feasibility, scope, and timeline.
