Job Summary

The SS will coordinate with other SHI sales personnel to manage ongoing customer relations as they relate to deliverables to assure the customer's expectations are reasonable, that deliverables are within the capabilities of the organisation, and that ongoing relations with the customer are continually expanding and improving.

The successful candidate will ideally be experienced in selling and promoting ITAM, SAM, Consultancy or Services and will be based from either our Austin TX, Somerset NJ or Milton Keynes, UK offices.
