Sales Process Ownership: Lead the preparation, presentation, and negotiation of RFIs, RFQs, bids, and rate quotes.
Client Engagement: Maintain active field engagement with a target of at least 2 key client meetings per day (in-person within a 2-hour drive radius, or virtual based on client preference).
