• Growth Initiatives: Track and support growth initiatives defined by the SAE/RKAM, including customer requested opportunities and long-range development themes.

• Value Differentiation: Continuously innovate and challenge the status quo to strengthen Schneider Electric’s unique value proposition.

• Business Reviews: Own strategic and operational preparation for BR’s, ensuring clear scorecard metrics, insights, strong storytelling, and action alignment.

• Integration: Support integration of the account across stakeholders, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing.

• Digital Playbook, Trackers, Teams: Document, govern, and evolve the digital account playbook that defines program governance, workflows, and best practices, ensuring operational teams (execution, tendering, services, quality, supply chain) provide aligned inputs and maintain ownership of the operational components within the unified global playbook.

• Customer Impact & Resolution Governance: Be fully informed on customer issues, risks, and needs, ensuring accountable operational teams drive full resolution; integrate key lessons learned into the account strategy and global playbook to strengthen customer outcomes and future engagements.

• Dashboards & Trackers: Build and manage strategic customer‑facing dashboards (as appropriate) that enhance transparency, provide meaningful insights, and strengthen customer intimacy.

• Account Enablement & Onboarding Leadership: Lead account onboarding for all new members of the account team and support executive onboarding in new countries to ensure inclusion and alignment to the account strategy, governance model, and unified global playbook.
