  • Establish sales targets, manage budgets and contribute to forecasting and business planning activities. 
  • Collaborate with technical, marketing and operations teams to deliver customer-focused solutions and support market development initiatives. 
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity and customer needs to inform strategic decision-making and product positioning.
