Position Summary

Evoke is seeking a highly motivated Technical Account Executive to grow strategic customer relationships and develop new business across application development, cloud, data, analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence services.

This role is designed for a sales professional with strong technical credibility who can build relationships with senior customer stakeholders, understand business and technology priorities, identify consulting and delivery opportunities, and collaborate with Evoke’s solution and delivery teams to create compelling proposals.

The Technical Account Executive will own account growth and opportunity development while remaining closely engaged with customers throughout the sales and delivery lifecycle.
