The person will aid in implementing AMATS growth strategies, including client and prospect targeting, whitespace discovery, relationship mapping, sales oversight, pipeline tracking, playbook creation, advisor channel engagement, and go-to-market activities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the AMATS CCO and leadership team in translating the North America commercial strategy into actionable growth initiatives, go-to-market plans, and responsibilities assigned to collaborators across private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, corporate strategic buyers, and M&A advisor channels.

 Client Targeting, Research & Analytics

• Conduct client, market, industry, whitespace, and advisor-channel research to support prospecting, client prioritization, relationship mapping, and targeted engagement strategies.
• Develop recurring reports, dashboards, and executive-ready insights that improve access to pipeline data, client targeting, growth initiatives, account performance, progress on important metrics, and commercial impact.
• Analyze data to support account prioritization, resource allocation, revenue growth opportunities, and enablement impact measurement while maintaining strong attention to accuracy and detail.

 Project Management, Governance & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Manage commercial projects from planning through execution by developing clear workplans, timelines, deliverables, ownership models, and scalable ways of working.
• Coordinate AMATS leadership, originators, marketing, finance, technology, sales enablement, solution lines, shared services, and global/cross-border partners to align priorities and ensure progress.
• Support commercial governance and process improvement efforts, including pipeline rigor, pricing coordination, approval workflows, exception tracking, process changes, and operating model consistency.
• Partner with Finance and AMATS leadership to support access to revenue, margin, and commercial performance.

 Skills and Experience That Will Lead to Success:

• More than 3 years of experience in project coordination, sales support, sales operations, business development assistance, marketing, analytics, or a similar commercial function.
• Experience supporting senior leaders and cross-functional teams in a matrixed organization.
• Outstanding project management capability with the ability to coordinate multiple priorities, interested parties, and timelines simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft clear executive-level updates, presentations, and business summaries.
