- Working knowledge of technical manufacturing, engineering services, industrial supply chains, product development, or related technical domains
- Ability to understand and discuss manufacturing requirements such as tolerances, materials, production processes, lead times, quality standards, DFM considerations, inspection needs, and supplier qualification
- Strong command of enterprise sales methodology, account planning, pipeline management, deal qualification, mutual action plans, and executive-level selling
- Comfortable owning a territory or named-account book with high expectations for pipeline creation, deal strategy, forecast integrity, and expansion
- Experience selling manufacturing, supply chain, engineering, product development, industrial technology, or production services to enterprise customers
- Familiarity with CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal, urethane casting, additive manufacturing, or precision manufacturing workflows

- BS in Engineering or a technical degree preferred
What the job involves
- As a Senior Account Executive for the MedTech, Aerospace, and Robotics Strategic Sales Team, you will work closely with some of the most exciting companies in the world to help them bring amazing products to market
- The Strategic Account Executive is responsible for developing and expanding accounts with multi-million-dollar manufacturing potential
- This is a complex, consultative sales position for someone who can earn credibility with engineering, supply chain, procurement, operations, and executive stakeholders while helping customers solve urgent manufacturing challenges
- All while balancing high-velocity transactions for your accounts
- This role is for a salesperson who wants to operate at the intersection of enterprise strategy, technical manufacturing, and commercial execution
- The bar is high because the opportunity is high: Fictiv’s strategic accounts require someone who can earn trust with sophisticated customers, navigate ambiguity, and build large partnerships from complex technical problems
- A top performer will not simply sell capacity
- They will build deep relationships inside large organizations, identify where Fictiv can materially improve speed, quality, cost, flexibility, or supply chain resilience, and convert those opportunities into durable partnerships
- They will help customers rethink how they access precision manufacturing, accelerate product development, reduce supply chain risk, and scale critical programs with confidence
- Develop and execute strategic account plans for large enterprise targets
- Own a defined portfolio of high-potential accounts and build account strategies that map business units, engineering teams, procurement groups, manufacturing decision-makers, executive sponsors, current supplier relationships, program timelines, and expansion paths. Top performers will know where the account is going before the customer issues an RFQ
- Create and progress complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities
- Identify manufacturing pain points across prototype, new product introduction, low-volume production, bridge production, and supply chain resiliency use cases. Navigate long sales cycles involving engineering validation, supplier qualification, procurement scrutiny, legal review, quality requirements, and executive approval
- Translate technical manufacturing challenges into business value
- Work with customers to understand requirements related to CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, additive manufacturing, tolerances, materials, inspection, DFM, lead times, cost drivers, and production risk. Convert those requirements into clear commercial value tied to speed-to-market, engineering throughput, supply continuity, working capital efficiency, and total cost of ownership
- Lead cross-functional deal orchestration
- Partner closely with applications engineering, sourcing, manufacturing operations, customer success, quality, finance, and leadership to design solutions that can be sold, delivered, scaled, and renewed. The best Strategic Account Executives will not simply “throw opportunities over the wall”; they will coordinate internal resources with discipline and urgency
- Build executive-level relationships and account expansion pathways
- Establish credibility beyond the initial buying group by developing relationships with VP-level and C-level leaders in engineering, supply chain, operations, product development, and procurement. Use early wins to expand across divisions, product lines, geographies, and manufacturing categories
- Own commercial strategy, negotiation, and closing
- Drive pricing strategy, business cases, proposals, MSAs, supplier onboarding, enterprise agreements, and complex negotiations. Balance customer advocacy with Fictiv’s commercial goals, ensuring that deals are strategically valuable, operationally executable, and positioned for long-term growth
- Maintain rigorous pipeline discipline and forecast accuracy
- Build a sufficient, qualified pipeline, manage opportunity stages with precision, identify risks early, and maintain a reliable forecast. Excellence in this role requires both strategic creativity and operating discipline
