Our client, a global player in the automotive manufacturing space, is seeking an experienced Account Manager to join their Hayward, CA-based team. This is a high-priority, full-time opportunity.

- Manage and grow strategic relationships with key automotive OEM clients
- Serve as the commercial point of contact for quoting, costing, and pricing negotiations
- Collaborate with engineering and operations to develop cost-effective solutions for client needs
- Lead VAVE initiatives to ensure competitive pricing and maximize client value

- Monitor performance and commercial health of key accounts, identifying opportunities to improve margins or expand engagement
- Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure timely and accurate execution of client projects
