The Senior Manager, Strategic Accounts is a senior role responsible for owning, scaling, and institutionalizing a high-impact joint venture between a consumer durables organization and a strategic technology partner. This role holds end-to-end accountability for business performance, including revenue growth, partner success, and long-term commercial sustainability across products, platforms, and global markets.

Operating at the intersection of strategy and execution, this leader functions as a general manager for the partnership—driving alignment across executive stakeholders, influencing cross-functional teams, and ensuring the venture evolves into a scalable, enterprise-grade business. This is not a traditional sales role; it requires a balance of commercial leadership, operational rigor, and strategic vision.
