Join us as an Inside Account Manager, Key Accounts and help us do what we do best: propelling business forward.   This will be a hybrid role so working between your home office and either our Raleigh NC or Burlington MA office.  You must be local to one of those locations to be considered.

In this role, you will operate as a strategic Inside Account Manager, supporting complex, consultative relationships across a defined portfolio of Business Key Accounts and in support of your assigned Key Account Managers.
