With over 700 engineers and state-of-the-art labs we support Product innovators in Consumer, Industrial & Industry 4.0, Defense & Security and MedTech industries with comprehensive hardware and software solutions from visioning, feasibility, prototyping, implementation to supporting mass production

Sigma Connectivity USA is based on San Jose, CA and is responsible for the North American market. Sigma Connectivity USA is looking for a proven Account Manager / Business Development to lead and grow of one of our most important clients.

Our most important company value is “You never work alone”, so we are first and foremost looking for a team player that will manage a large account and account team and work closely with our operations/delivery teams to deliver value to customer. Our ideal candidate has experience in the sales and business development of complex engineering services (hardware and/or software) and has a documented history of managing and growing accounts.

What We Are Looking For

You don't need a decades-long background in engineering; rather, you need a proven track record of navigating complex, multi-stakeholder B2B environments to serve clients and grow business. You are a "hunter" who loves finding new opportunities and a strategic "farmer" who can build long-term trust to expand existing accounts.

• You are a trusted partner to clients: to be successful in this role, you will have to develop and maintain the trust of the client as a go-to partner who can help them achieve their goals and overcome challenges.
• Business Development/Sales: you will work directly with client interfaces to maintain current business and develop new business. You will ensure we understand our clients’ vision and goals and coordinate with our company to align where we can bring our capabilities to help our client achieve their goals.
• You are dealmaker: Like our top performers, you excel at bringing "signal to noise." You can synthesize complex market intelligence, understand a client’s business goals, and collaborate with internal engineering, project management, and strategic partners to close deals.
• Strategy: As account manager for one of our most important customers, you will be expected to lead the development of a strategy for the account and then execute that strategy together with the account team.
• Team Management: You will lead the account team for the client, and in that role you will be expected to lead the members of the account team from multiple different parts of our company delivering into the client. You will be responsible for collaborating with various business units in our company to align and ensure a highly effective account team.
• Cross-functional collaboration: You will be expected to collaborate with team members across our organization in both sales and delivery roles.
• You Speak "Tech" and "Business": While an engineering degree isn't mandatory, you must be comfortable discussing connected devices, IoT, software/hardware product lifecycles, and wireless connectivity. You can work with our capable engineers to translate technical capabilities into compelling business value propositions for C-suite executives.
