Why You’ll Love Working Here

 As a key member of ORBCOMM’s International Sales team, you’ll be a strategic, customer-facing technical expert at the intersection of customer success and solution delivery.

  • Lead Deployments and Pilot Programs
    • Drive integration, configuration, testing, and validation of Smart Container solutions in customer environments.
    • Own successful delivery of PoCs and pilots with clear success criteria and measurable outcomes.
    • Coordinate execution with cross-functional teams and prepare implementation plans, test scripts, and acceptance documentation.
  • Provide Technical Leadership and Customer Guidance 
    • Act as a trusted advisor—guiding architectural decisions that maximize operational efficiency and ROI.
    • Translate complex technical concepts into clear, value-driven narratives for business leaders.
    • Share best practices and coach customers on workflows, integration patterns, and system utilization.
  • Capture Voice of Customer and Influence Product Direction
    • Gather actionable insights from deployments, PoCs, and customer discussions to identify solution gaps.
    • Provide structured feedback to Product Management and Engineering to shape roadmap priorities.
    • Advocate for enhancements based on regional needs and industry trends.
  • Collaborate Across Functions to Drive Success
    • Work closely with CSMs on account plans, expansion opportunities, and technical escalations.
    • Partner with Product, Engineering, RevOps, Sales Engineering, and Support to ensure solution feasibility and alignment.
    • Contribute to internal knowledge bases, best practices, and reusable solution assets.

Who You Are:

If you have:
