Role Overview

As an Account Manager at Arrow Electronics in New Taipei City, Taiwan, you will play a pivotal role in driving sales growth within the dynamic electronics and semiconductor markets. Arrow Electronics, a Fortune 154 company with $27.9 billion in 2024 sales, is at the forefront of guiding innovation forward. Your primary mission will be to identify critical markets and new customers in your assigned sales territory, crafting strategic plans that foster long-term relationships and solution selling. This position demands a blend of technical acumen, sales prowess, and relationship-building skills to ensure customer satisfaction across supply chain management and value-added services.

In this full-time role based in Zhonghe District along Jian-Yi Road, you will leverage your extensive understanding of pricing programs and models unique to the electronics industry. Interacting seamlessly with vendors and customers in technical and engineering environments will be second nature. You will develop comprehensive strategic plans for all assigned accounts, marketing Arrow's full suite of offerings backed by in-depth knowledge of key supplier lines. Preparing and presenting internal quarterly business reviews (iQBRs) will be key, outlining steps to grow sales, create demand, and enhance customer service. Leading regular QBRs with major customers will unlock new sales opportunities, while promoting Arrow's value-add, supply chain, and full lifecycle programs will solidify your impact.

Proficiency in sales tracking systems like SalesForce.com and Oracle Establish is essential, as is your ability to build robust relationships with key suppliers. This role is ideal for professionals who thrive in complex environments, solving intricate problems with innovative perspectives on existing solutions. Working independently with minimal guidance, you will use best practices and deep business knowledge to improve products, services, or processes, often leading project teams and training junior staff.

Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day at Arrow's state-of-the-art facility in New Taipei City's Zhonghe District. After settling in with a team coffee chat, you dive into market analysis, pinpointing emerging opportunities in Taiwan's booming semiconductor sector. Mornings often involve strategic planning sessions, where you refine account strategies using SalesForce data to forecast demand and tailor pitches for Arrow's key supplier lines.

By mid-morning, you're on client calls, nurturing relationships with engineering leads at major electronics manufacturers. Discussing supply chain challenges, you position Arrow's value-added services as the solution, perhaps demoing lifecycle programs that streamline their operations. Lunch might be a quick team meal, sharing insights on the latest industry trends in New Taipei's vibrant tech hub.

Afternoons are action-packed: preparing an iQBR with compelling visuals on sales growth projections, or leading a customer QBR via video, unveiling opportunities that could double their orders. You collaborate with suppliers for pricing alignments, troubleshoot technical issues, and track progress in Oracle. Wrapping up, you might mentor a junior team member on complex problem-solving or strategize for the next territory expansion. It's a 5-day work week filled with high-impact activities, innovation, and tangible results.
