• Develop and monitor account-specific plans to improve efficiency, including areas such as e-app usage, new business submissions, and process optimization.
• Support due diligence requests and assist with coordinating responses to RFPs.
• Drive engagement through participation in marketing campaigns, product launches, awareness initiatives, and onboarding activities.
• Provide both proactive outreach and reactive support for Regional Sales Director initiatives, territory management efforts, and marketing programs.
• Build effective relationships with distribution partners, contributing to long-term relationship strength and partnership growth.
