The CAM is an account management and emotional intelligence ninja. You have to learn different softwares, different industries, different business models, different cultures and different practices. If learning how to navigate that kind of environment does NOT stimulate and excite you, then this probably is not the role for you.
Our partners work in telecoms, big oil, digital asset management, data warehousing, utility expenses management, mining and more. All of these are industries and different software solutions and applications which are incredibly unique and niche to each of our partners' businesses. It is the CAM's job to figure out how to support and make sure the relationship and customer base continue to expand.
Channel Account Manager $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks ($50 USD/hour)

Each of these industries requires a unique software solution, adding a stimulating level of complexity to your role. You'll be a critical component in ensuring the relationship and customer base continues to expand within these varied landscapes.
