This is a newly created role that sits above where AM and Sales Planning leadership have historically sat in AMER, bringing both functions together under one leader.

We’re looking for someone who’s energized by that kind of build.
The Associate Director will lead an organization of approximately 25 people across Sales Planning and Account Management. They would own the operating cadence and commercial strategy for both functions. This person will report to the Global Director of Commercial Operations, with both the Account Management and Sales Planning leadership reporting directly into them.
