• Support customers in identifying solutions that improve execution certainty, operational efficiency and total cost of ownership.
• Ecosystem and Stakeholder Alignment
• Drive alignment and mindshare with data centre operators while ensuring their requirements and preferences are reflected through the wider project ecosystem.
• Engage and influence EPCs, consultants, system integrators, contractors and colocation providers involved in the customer's project and procurement lifecycle.
• Coordinate internal Wesco Anixter resources, vendor partners and subject matter experts to support strategic opportunities.
• Build stakeholder alignment early in the project lifecycle to improve deal conversion and execution quality.
• Commercial Ownership
• Own revenue, margin, pipeline, account planning, forecasting and vendor alignment for the assigned named customers.
• Build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline with disciplined opportunity qualification and forecast accuracy.
• Lead account strategy reviews, opportunity reviews and execution plans for strategic customers.
• Drive margin improvement through solution-based selling, service attachment and value-added offerings.
• Identify cross-sell and expansion opportunities across the customer portfolio.
• Market Development
• Monitor Indonesia data center market trends, customer expansion plans, project pipelines, technology shifts and competitive activity.
• Identify new opportunities within the data centre operator and multi-tenant data centre ecosystem.
• Contribute to Wesco Anixter Indonesia growth strategy by translating market activity into actionable customer and vendor engagement plans.
• Solution Scope
• Power distribution and electrical infrastructure
• Network infrastructure and structured connectivity solutions
• Cooling-related infrastructure support solutions
• Supply chain solutions, Deployment services and integration support aligned to customer project requirements
• Other requirements
• Frequent customer and project-site engagement across Indonesia will be required.
• The role may require early starts, late finishes and cross-regional & global coordination depending on customer and project requirements.
• The candidate must be comfortable engaging both senior leadership and hands-on operational stakeholders.
