• Manage and grow Bronze, Silver and Gold accounts, ensuring consistent engagement and revenue development.
• Review excluded accounts, investigate lost equipment, and identify opportunities to reintroduce or optimise consumables usage.
• Work closely with BDMs to protect and grow consumables margins and support wider commercial initiatives, including marketing campaigns and product launches.
• Provide general support to BDMs and Regional Sales Teams, including reporting, documentation updates, quotes, agreements and consumables insights.
