What are the responsibilities and job description for the Strategic Partnerships Manager (Remote) position at InflexionPoint?
Description
You must have a proven track record exceeding a $4MM annual quota selling complex conceptual services to and through EDCs (engineer, design, construction firms) for the critical infrastructure, life science, CPG, and food and beverage sectors.
You’re conversant in transformative Industry 4.0 capabilities across multiple layers of complex manufacturing and process data management. You’ll understand the power of technologies like SCADA, MES, OT networking, controls automation, UNS, AI, and machine learning to help American businesses secure and optimize their operations.
You’re probably a former NCAA athlete or military veteran who exemplifies the grit and determination necessary to thrive in competitive markets, with the strong coaching, motivating and planning skills characteristic of an extraordinary channel manager who creates new partnerships and deepens them by creating mutual value. You’ll have demonstrated success helping EDC partners land new clients and improve project outcomes for existing ones by extending data offerings while reducing risks in complex greenfield and brownfield projects.
If this describes you, here’s what you need to know about us and this Strategic Partner Manager role.
Company
InflexionPoint, LLC (formerly known as Automated Control Concepts) - https://inflexionpoint.ai/ - was founded > 20 years ago. We work with many of the world's leading companies to design, build, and manage solutions that harness the power of data to facilitate informed decision-making. As a “digital-transformation” partner, we see each project in the context of clients’ objectives of increased revenue, decreased operating cost, and improved asset efficiency across their entire value chain. We don’t deliver code and controls; we deliver business outcomes.
Our areas of expertise span project lifecycles from strategy, through automation and intelligence, to infrastructure. We have delivered outcomes directly and through partners across all four of our target industries; critical infrastructure, life sciences, CPG, and food and beverage.
We are located on the beautiful “Jersey Shore” about an hour south of NYC, and are backed by Sverica Capital (https://sverica.com/), a private equity investor. We have aggressive growth goals, and our most successful salespeople love to win, hate to lose, and expect to exceed quota. So they embrace the grind and do the necessary work to crush their number in pursuit of their financial and career goals.
Ideal Candidate
The successful candidate will have at least a bachelor's degree in business, engineering, or a related field (advanced degree preferred) and 5 years of sales and channel management experience working with EDCs. They’ll relish working with you because you’ll be different than their other vendors that just reply to RFQs. You’ll have a track record of helping them win new and bigger projects, and deliver superb outcomes.
You will have strong communication and analytical skills and experience traveling at least 50% of the time.
We are a results-oriented company and growth focused, so you’ll be accountable, detail oriented and your athletic/military background will drive an intolerance of excuses from yourself and others. You’ll also be a creative, entrepreneurial, and curious problem solver who builds strong relationships with colleagues, business partners and clients.
