• Identify, qualify, and capture new opportunities by engaging key stakeholders and decision-makers within target agencies.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline, leveraging existing and emerging contract vehicles.
• Partner with internal teams : product, tech, legal, and marketing to shape solutions aligned with customer mission needs.
• Negotiate and close deals that balance customer success with SynMax’s growth goals.
