What do you get to do in this position?
- This isn’t about selling widgets. It’s about understanding the strategic value Schneider Electric technology can bring to an organization’s business rather than just the technology itself.

We don’t just sell hardware, we sell a customizable, IoT-enabled platform that also includes software, cloud analytics, and services.

- Every project and customer is different. Our customers have all kinds of life-altering challenges to solve, and many have serious implications to the environment and economy at large. Our strategic accounts team builds deep customer relationships to create customer-based solutions to help these customers solve their problems. Our customers range across the spectrum of global commerce: residential and commercial buildings, data centers, industrial sites, and infrastructure. Across all of it, we make electricity greener, smarter, and more reliable.
- Learning every day is key. Our technology matures and our customers’ needs change all the time. We work at the vanguard of the new energy landscape, which is getting more decentralized, digitalized, and decarbonized by the day. It’s an exciting space that’s taking on one of the biggest societal challenges of our time: sustainability. If you have an intellectual passion to continue learning, you’ll fit right in.
