• Develop strategic relationships with software partners and identify opportunities to grow together.
• Engage with customers and support account planning where appropriate.
• Represent Schneider Electric at industry events, conferences and technical workshops.

About You

You are an experienced enterprise software or solutions professional who is equally comfortable discussing technical architecture, customer challenges and commercial outcomes.

You can take complex requirements and turn them into clear, scalable solutions while building credibility with senior customers and stakeholders. You are naturally collaborative, commercially aware and capable of operating across sales, technical and business environments.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree or Diploma in Business, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related discipline.

• Strong stakeholder management skills across customers, software partners and internal teams.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with strong analytical, organisational and problem-solving skills.
• Flexibility for interstate travel to customer locations, estimated at approximately 5%.
