Original job description
The Account Manager is the primary point of contact for assigned customers and sales opportunities at Omnify, guiding the customer journey from the first quotation request through order execution, delivery, and post-delivery support.
Preparing accurate and competitive quotations, managing orders, coordinating projects, and maintaining clear customer communication are all part of the same account ownership. The role works closely with Sales, Product Development, Production, Procurement, Finance, and Logistics to deliver technically sound solutions, realistic commitments, and a consistent customer experience.
Account Management & Customer Relationships
• Serve as the primary
point of contact for assigned customer accounts across quotations, orders,
delivery status, technical coordination, and issue resolution.
• Develop and maintain
customer relationships that support long-term engagement, confidence, and
repeat business.
• Communicate
proactively so customers are updated before they need to ask, with clear
information on what happened, what comes next, and when.
• Maintain ownership
through internal handoffs and follow-up until the customer requirement,
commitment, or issue reaches a clear and confirmed outcome.
Quotation Intake & Preparation
• Manage incoming
quotation requests, revisions, technical inquiries, and follow-ups, ensuring
requirements are complete, prioritized, and actioned appropriately.
• Review inventory,
production readiness, lead-time requirements, and known constraints in Epicor
before issuing quotations or customer commitments.
• Prepare accurate
quotations for standard products based on specifications, drawings, and
established pricing, in line with defined quotation SLAs.
• Prepare quotations
for custom, engineering, and non-standard solutions by interpreting customer
specifications, project requirements, construction drawings, DWG files, and 3D
CAD files.
• Provide multiple
product, sourcing, or pricing options where appropriate to support value
engineering and customer requirements.
Pricing, Costing & Vendor Quotations
• Analyze internal
costs, vendor pricing, freight, and margins to develop competitive pricing that
aligns with company margin targets.
• Contact approved and
prospective domestic and overseas vendors directly to obtain pricing, lead
times, minimum order requirements, technical information, and alternative
solutions needed to prepare customer quotations.
• Source new suppliers
when specialized or custom project requirements call for additional options,
coordinating supplier approval, onboarding, commercial terms, and purchase
execution with Procurement as required.
• Build and validate
vendor-based quotation costing independently, confirming quote validity,
availability, lead time, freight assumptions, and other material commercial
factors before customer pricing is released.
• Collaborate with
Product Development (PD) on pricing and technical feasibility for custom or
non-standard products.
• Support Regional
Sales Managers with cost-effective quotation options and value-engineered
alternatives when needed.
Order Management & Execution
• Convert accepted
quotations into accurate sales orders and ensure scope, pricing, quantities,
ship-to information, and required documentation are correct.
• Manage orders through
internal processes, coordinating with Production, Logistics, Procurement,
Finance, and other teams to support timely execution and delivery.
• Ensure customer
approvals, deposits or payment requirements, holds, and other prerequisites are
identified and followed through before production release when applicable.
• Maintain complete and
accurate project, quotation, order, and customer records within ERP, CRM,
ticketing, and quotation systems.
Project Coordination & Tracking
• Coordinate
project-based and multi-release orders from award through delivery, including
drawings, approvals, production release, material readiness, shipment, and
other key milestones.
• Track the customer
Need-By Date separately from Omnify's internal Promise Date, and communicate
the Promise Date and any changes clearly once established by Production.
• Maintain an active
project and order tracker showing current status, milestones, holds,
responsible parties, risks, next actions, and target dates.
• Drive follow-up with
internal owners to keep work moving, rather than only reporting status, and
escalate blockers early when customer commitments are at risk.
• When a Promise Date
is at risk or does not support the customer Need-By Date, coordinate recovery
options internally before communicating the agreed plan and next steps to the
customer.
• Facilitate clean
handoffs between Sales, Product Development, Production, Procurement,
Logistics, and other teams so requirements are clear and complete before
release or execution.
Customer Success & Issue Resolution
• Own customer
inquiries and support tickets through CRM and ticketing systems, maintaining
proactive updates and clear next actions until closure.
• Manage RMA processes
through to confirmed resolution, coordinating required technical, production,
logistics, or commercial actions.
• Coordinate internally
to resolve product, delivery, order, or documentation issues while keeping the
customer informed throughout.
• Provide technical
product guidance to customers and internal teams and stay current on product
updates, capabilities, and limitations.
• Support customer
feedback processes, including post-delivery follow-up and surveys, and surface
recurring issues that require corrective action.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
• Partner with Sales,
Product Development, Engineering, Production, Procurement, Finance, and
Logistics to ensure quotation accuracy, clear commitments, and successful order
execution.
• Participate in and
lead Customer Success huddles as assigned, bringing clear status, open
commitments, blockers, next actions, and escalations requiring cross-functional
support.
• Escalate issues
requiring management intervention, reprioritization, or corrective action with
the relevant facts, customer impact, and a clear recommended next step or
decision required.
• Support process
improvements related to quote intake, pricing, order workflow, project
tracking, response quality, communication, and customer experience.
• Share product,
pricing, quotation, and vendor knowledge with team members to improve
consistency and team capability.
Requirements
• Proven experience in
quotation, pricing, account management, and customer-facing project
coordination within the lighting industry or a manufacturing / custom-solutions
environment.
• Strong commercial
understanding of pricing strategies, cost structures, freight, vendor
quotations, and margin management.
• Experience managing
vendor and supplier relationships, including direct overseas sourcing and
quotation activity.
• Project coordination
or project management experience, with the ability to manage multiple
concurrent projects, commitments, and deadlines.
• Ability to interpret
technical drawings, specifications, construction documents, and CAD files.
• Strong customer
service judgment with excellent written and verbal communication and the
ability to create clarity in complex situations.
• Demonstrated
ownership, follow-through, organization, and problem-solving under tight
timelines and changing priorities.
• Proficiency with ERP
systems (Epicor preferred), CRM, ticketing, and quotation-management systems.
• Ability to work
effectively across Sales, Product Development, Production, Procurement,
Finance, and Logistics while maintaining clear accountability for the customer
outcome.
