Key Responsibilities:
Strategic Account Leadership

• Drive continuous alignment through multiple, weekly in-person sessions at Comcast HQ, serving as the primary face of Vantiva to ensure seamless communication.

• Own Vantiva's execution of Comcast's Long-Range Plan (LRP) and maintaining a rigorous 12-month rolling forecast to ensure business predictability.

• Act as the "conductor" across Vantiva's global departments, synchronizing efforts to meet the specific technical and commercial demands of the Comcast account.

Customer Relationship & Advocacy

• Build and navigate a complex map of stakeholder relationships to establish deep ties with Comcast's senior leadership and decision-makers.

• Serve as the "Voice of the Customer" within Vantiva, ensuring Comcast's strategic goals are integrated into our internal product roadmaps and service delivery models.

Cross-Functional Commercial Excellence

• Lead the end-to-end development of commercial proposals, ensuring deals create value for all stakeholders.

• Partner closely with Vantiva operations to guarantee supply chain resilience, ensuring product availability aligns with Comcast's deployment schedules.

• Facilitate "Engineering Excellence" by bridging the gap between Comcast's technical requirements and Vantiva's R&D teams to deliver market-leading innovation.

Qualifications & Requirements:
Professional Experience

• 8-12+ years of experience in senior account management or business development, specifically managing "Tier 1" accounts.

• Deep, prior experience working directly with Comcast is highly preferred; alternatively, a proven track record navigating other major Network Service Providers (NSPs) or MSOs.

• Proven knowledge of managing Fortune 500 technology accounts, with the ability to navigate multi-year contract cycles and high-volume hardware/software deployments.

Technical & Industry Expertise

• Advanced knowledge of the broadband landscape, specifically DOCSIS and PON architectures, alongside a strong grasp of Wi-Fi 7 and next-gen video CPE standards, preferred

• Ability to translate industry shifts (like the move to 10G or edge computing) into actionable business opportunities for the client.

Education & Professional Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, or a related technical field. An MBA or equivalent advanced degree is considered a significant advantage.

Strategic Vision & Execution

Technical Translation & Domain Authority

• Deep fluency in complex connectivity architectures (DOCSIS, PON, Wi-Fi 7) with the unique ability to "translate" technical specifications into compelling business value for both business and technical stakeholders.

High-Stakes Negotiation

• A commercial expert to navigate intricate procurement processes and successfully secure major contracts.

• Strong understanding of contracting and supply agreement legal terms.

Modern Tool Mastery & Efficiency

Executive Presence & Precision

• Exceptional oral and written communication skills with a focus on "Executive-Ready" delivery.
