Key Responsibilities

Opportunity and Quote Management

• Own customer-facing follow-up on quotes, open opportunities, and commercial status.
• Ensure quotes are followed up on promptly after delivery and that next steps are documented.
• Challenge unclear scopes before they move too far through the internal process.
• Coordinate with Estimating, Engineering, Operations, and other internal teams as needed to ensure customer requests are properly understood and routed.

Internal Coordination

• Work through the ECAM process to coordinate customer needs, internal follow-up, and escalations.
• Use the ECAM Coordinator for sentiment tracking, quote/report coordination, escalation routing, and communication support.
• Coordinate with Operations before making customer commitments related to schedule, manpower, delivery approach, or execution timing.
• Participate in backlog reviews and forecast meetings as required.
• Influence internal teams through process, communication, and escalation, not through direct authority.

• Escalate customer-impacting issues internally through ECAM promptly.
• Help maintain recovery visibility with the customer while internal owners address operational, technical, or execution issues.

• During onboarding, the Account Manager will learn i2G's service lines, customer structure, Salesforce expectations, quote and opportunity processes, internal coordination paths, and ECAM operating standards.
• During shadowing, the Account Manager will participate in customer meetings, internal reviews, quote follow-up, Salesforce updates, and territory planning under guidance.
• During mentoring, the Account Manager will begin taking direct ownership of assigned customer follow-up, opportunity development, Salesforce accuracy, quote tracking, and customer communication while continuing to receive guidance and oversight.
