About the role
Position Details
Summary
The Senior Inside Sales Specialist is an experienced commercial professional who independently manages complex operational and commercial activities for assigned strategic accounts in close partnership with Key Account Managers. The role owns disciplined execution of commercial Standard Work, forecasting, order and blanket-order coordination, revenue and bookings planning, quotation preparation, customer data quality, issue resolution, and cross-functional follow-through. The Senior Inside Sales Specialist serves as a primary day-to-day customer contact, anticipates risks, drives timely resolution, and recommends actions based on sound commercial judgment. Overall account strategy, non-standard pricing, contractual negotiations, and binding commercial commitments remain aligned with and approved by the assigned Key Account Manager and applicable delegation-of-authority requirements.
Primary Responsibilities
· Independently lead the consistent execution of commercial Standard Work and recurring account-management processes for assigned strategic accounts, in alignment with the Key Account Manager.
· Serve as a primary day-to-day customer contact for forecasts, quotations, open orders, blanket orders, delivery priorities, documentation, and other operational commercial matters.
· Own the collection, validation, analysis, and maintenance of customer forecasts by part number; challenge material assumptions and communicate demand changes, gaps, and risks to Sales and Operations.
· Lead revenue and bookings planning support for assigned accounts, including analysis, reconciliation, review preparation, variance explanations, action tracking, and timely follow-up.
· Drive cross-functional resolution of customer and order issues with Customer Service, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Finance, and other functions; establish owners, deadlines, and escalation paths.
· Resolve complex administrative and operational order issues, identify root causes, and recommend process improvements that strengthen customer service and execution.
· Ensure the accuracy and integrity of customer, contact, forecast, pricing, quotation, pipeline, and activity data across the applicable ERP, CRM, and planning systems.
· Proactively identify forecast changes, delivery exposure, pricing discrepancies, demand risks, and recurring customer issues; assess business impact and escalate with a recommended course of action.
· Prepare and manage routine and moderately complex quotations, pricing analyses, customer documentation, and commercial proposals using approved pricing and established delegation-of-authority requirements.
· Lead operational portions of customer calls and business reviews, presenting forecast, order, delivery, revenue, and action-status information with clear recommendations and follow-up.
· Act as a subject-matter resource for commercial processes, coach less-experienced team members as needed, and help improve standard work, reporting, and internal controls.
General Tasks
· Strict compliance with quality, occupational safety, and environmental regulations.
· Implementation of instructions issued by the quality and environmental management representatives and the occupational safety specialist.
