  14. Partner with colleagues both within region and across SDP to strengthen collective work (e.g., identify interdependencies and strategic opportunities).
  15. Based on your portfolio, provide coaching and support to junior staff members on account strategy.
  16. Execute Internal Processes & Manage Regional Projects (20%).
  17. Utilize Salesforce CRM for account management, to monitor progress toward goals, to manage state/district account plans, and for proactive opportunity and task management.
