• Leading negotiations for pricing, terms, and supply agreements, collaborating with our legal team to secure favorable contracts that support long-term revenue growth and partnership sustainability.
• Partnering closely with internal teams (Product Development, Marketing, Engineering, and Customer Support) to align on product strategies, customization needs, and post-sale support for OEM accounts.
• Staying informed about trends in RFID and embedded technology, advocating for Omnikey’s technology solutions. Gather market insights and competitive intelligence to refine the revenue growth strategy and support product innovation.
• Proactively managing customer satisfaction and loyalty within each OEM account, focusing on reliability, seamless support, and value delivery to foster enduring partnerships that drive ongoing revenue.
