As a Sales Project Manager, you’ll be an integral member of the centralized and dedicated Sales Support function under Applied Global Services, administering the Headquarters Sales excellence initiatives designed to meet global targets.

You will be responsible for contributing to Global Services sales initiatives, building up response-for-pricing / response-for-quotation responses mechanisms, and facilitating CRM automation for optimization. The ultimate goal is to maximize our Services Sales’ time spent with customers instead of internal coordination to close a deal.
