About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will serve as the strategic lead for key Electrification accounts, owning the relationship, the plan, and the outcomes — while coordinating across GE Vernova's full portfolio to deliver integrated solutions no single business line could offer alone.
Own the account, end to end — maintain executive-level relationships from the C-suite down, lead regular business reviews, and develop a rolling 3+ year account strategy that aligns GE Vernova's priorities with the customer's long-term objectives, needs, and culture.
Represent the full portfolio — advocate for the breadth of GE Vernova's Electrification (ELEC) product and service offerings, not only for HV systems and equipment, but also Protection and Control, power stability solutions (STATCOM, Synchronous Condensers, Fixed and Variable Series Compensation), Battery Storage and Solar Inverters, and Energy Management software ; drive collaboration across business lines where opportunities require complex or multi-business-line solutions.
Drive cross-business growth — co-sell with Gas Power and Wind Power sales counterparts to improve Electrification attachment rates to new generation projects; engage with the Vernova’s Enterprise Strategic Account Executive (ESAE) counterparts to increase penetration and sharpen strategy across GE Vernova.
Apply your technical depth — leverage your deep knowledge of HV equipment and electrical substation systems to engage credibly at every level of the customer organization, differentiate GE Vernova's solutions, and develop counterstrategies that grow share of wallet and improve win rates.
Map and grow the relationship — develop and execute relationship mapping that connects GE Vernova leadership with the right counterparts in the customer organization; identify and create ongoing engagement opportunities.
Measure what matters — use operational data, standard work, and metrics including Net Promoter Score (NPS) to monitor relationship health, account profitability, and strategic alignment.
Report on Account Growth — Reporting to the VP, Business Development for North America, prepare and report quarterly on account growth and progression.
