About The Position

As the Strategic Account Executive for Australia and New Zealand, you will serve as the strategic architect of customer success across the entire ANZ region. You'll own a portfolio of enterprise relationships where your consultative approach directly drives both customer transformation and RF-SMART's growth in this critical market. This role uniquely positions you as the primary RF-SMART connection for ANZ customers, requiring you to bridge continents, collaborate across time zones, and build lasting partnerships that turn customers into advocates. Your ability to understand complex business challenges, identify expansion opportunities, and orchestrate seamless experiences will directly impact our recurring revenue and market presence in the region. This isn't a typical account management position. You'll have true ownership of an entire geographic region, giving you entrepreneurial freedom to shape the ANZ customer experience. The time zone dynamics require flexibility but also mean you'll often have uninterrupted time during US mornings to focus on strategic work, planning, and internal collaboration. You'll be building something meaningful—serving as the face of RF-SMART across an entire region where your relationships directly translate to customer transformations and company growth. The role offers significant autonomy with strong support. While travel is limited, you'll have the resources and backing to orchestrate impactful customer visits and attend regional trade shows when strategic. You'll work alongside a collaborative Sales team that has each other's backs and Customer Care/Support partners who are committed to customer success.
