Customer Account Management, Senior (German, French or Italian speaker)

Position Summary

The Senior Customer Account Manager is responsible for protecting, growing, and strengthening TraceLink's Track & Trace customer relationships with our most valuable customers. Serving as the primary commercial owner for the Track & Trace Agentic Business Process (T&T ABP) commercialization journey across an assigned portfolio of customers, the Senior CAM helps customers maximize the value of their serialization, compliance, and digital compliance operations while expanding adoption of TraceLink's Track & Trace platform, compliance solutions, and Track & Trace-related Agentic Business Processes.

The Senior CAM owns the complete commercial lifecycle of the T&T ABP journey, including customer strategy, renewals, compliance expansion, pipeline development, forecasting, and the introduction of new Track & Trace and compliance-related Agentic Business Processes that improve compliance, productivity, and operational performance.

This is an outside sales/field-based role that requires hands-on executive relationship management, frequent on-site customer visits, and intentional territory planning. The CAM owns the complete commercial lifecycle of the T&T ABP journey, including account strategy, renewals, compliance expansion, pipeline development, forecasting, and the introduction of new Track & Trace and compliance-related Agentic Business Processes that improve compliance, productivity, and operational performance. 

Many customers will simultaneously pursue a broader Supply Chain Agentic Business Process (SC ABP) transformation journey.
