Scope of Position

Account program management is a core function in the Solutions team. Its main responsibility is to deliver the expected strategic business objectives and targeted outcomes as agreed to between the Account Commercial Management and the Account Program Management teams for the respective accounts & programs. Ultimately, the overarching outcomes of delivering account program plans are the highest level of client satisfaction, and business success for both the clients and company alike. The Account Program Managers drive, organize, coordinate, and optimize all activities and projects applied to customer programs throughout the life-cycle of the business relationship with customers. In addition, account program managers play a leadership role in pre-sales activity, by driving the proposal process for all qualified opportunities in partnership with all delivery functional teams.

Throughout the customer business relationship, the Account Program Manager is also accountable for tracking program results & driving the execution of changes to plans as required to produce the desired business outcomes, and for making sure plans stay aligned with evolutions in program & account strategies as defined by respective Account commercial managers.

Finally, the Account Program Manager is responsible for coordinating all key communication interfaces and interactions to include appropriate program reporting between internal company teams and the customer, including effective setting and management of customer expectations and ensuing high CSAT on an ongoing basis. p>
