We are a financially strong, international company with no debt and have been in business for over 40 years. Using advanced optics, image sensors and artificial intelligence software Cognex vision and ID systems capture an image then analyze it to make sense of what’s being seen. We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable work environment, guided by our \"Work Hard, Play Hard, Move Fast\" culture, which celebrates employee innovation, determination, and dedication in a dynamic, fun, and distinctive atmosphere.\nWe are working on a hybrid schedule, 3 days in the office, 2 at home.\nReporting directly to the Head of Global Marketing, you will lead, scale, and optimize a global team of outbound Account Development Representatives, and ADR Managers focused on penetrating top-tier target organizations and \"Most Wanted Accounts.\" Operating at the critical junction of Marketing and Global Sales, you will partner directly with the Head of Global Demand Generation and Regional Sales VPs to design and execute a high-impact outbound Account-Based Marketing (ABM) motion. Your mission is to pivot the organization from inbound lead qualification to a hyper-targeted, outbound ABM strategy, ensuring our global pipeline generation is programmatic, technologically cutting-edge, and highly predictable.\nThe Opportunity\nReporting directly to the Head of Global Marketing, you will lead, scale, and optimize a global team of outbound ADRs, and ADR Managers focused on penetrating top-tier target organizations and \"Most Wanted Accounts.\" Operating at the critical junction of Marketing and Global Sales, you will partner directly with the Head of Global Demand Generation and Regional Sales VPs to design and execute a high-impact outbound Account-Based Marketing (ABM) motion. Your mission is to pivot the organization from inbound lead qualification to a hyper-targeted, outbound ABM strategy, ensuring our global pipeline generation is programmatic, technologically cutting-edge, and highly predictable.\nThe Ideal Profile\nYou are a seasoned BDR/ADR leader with experience across multiple global regions and a proven track record of scaling pipeline in a $1B+ B2B enterprise environment. You are a change agent who knows how to transition teams from volume-based inside sales to a sophisticated, value-driven ABM play. You don't just track activity metrics; you build modern compensation structures, adopt AI-driven tech stacks, and align multi-threaded outreach with strategic accounts. You excel at managing through layers (leading managers) and driving execution across complex, matrixed global environments.\nQualifications\nExperience: 10+ years in B2B Revenue functions, with 6+ years specifically leading and scaling BDR/ADR teams, including experience managing other managers across multiple global regions.\nABM Strategy & Change Management: Proven track record of successfully re-building or pivoting a global inside sales organization from traditional outbound/inbound to an outbound ABM framework.\nTechnical Stack Expertise: Hands-on experience choosing, deploying, and driving adoption for tools like Salesforce Sales Cloud, Salesloft/Outreach, 6sense/Demandbase, ZoomInfo, and AI-powered sales acceleration tools.\nComp & Metric Design: Demonstrated experience architecting new compensation structures, quotas, and performance metrics tailored specifically for enterprise account penetration rather than raw meeting volume.\nEducation: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field; MBA preferred.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. Strategic Outbound ABM Architecture\nABM Alignment: Partner with Global Sales VPs and the Head of Global Demand Gen to map, tier, and prioritize \"Most Wanted Accounts\" for global outbound campaigns.\n Multi-Threaded Playbooks: Design, deploy, and audit hyper-targeted, multi-channel outbound playbooks (email, phone, LinkedIn, executive events) tailored to specific enterprise buying groups.\n Funnel Optimization: Own the ADR stage of the funnel (SDR/ADR to Account Executive handoff), ensuring seamless routing, rigorous qualification, and zero pipeline leakage. (Note: This team is focused purely on sales-qualified pipeline creation, not direct bookings).\n2. Operational Modernization & Tech Adoption\n Tech Stack Evolution: Evaluate, implement, and optimize the ADR tech stack (Intent data, sequencing tools, AI dialers/writers) to maximize rep efficiency and intent-driven personalization.\n Metric & Comp Redesign: Shift the team’s KPIs away from legacy vanity metrics (e.g., call volume) toward high-value indicators (e.g., account penetration depth, buying group engagement). Redesign compensation plans to reward strategic enterprise alignment.\nProcess Engineering: Standardize global workflows across regions while allowing for necessary localization, removing administrative friction so reps spend maximum time prospecting.\n3. Data-Driven Insights & Accountability\nPipeline Analytics: Partner with Sales Operations to build and monitor dashboards tracking ADR efficiency, account conversion velocities, and outbound ROI.\nInsight-to-Action: Deliver weekly and monthly pipeline forecasts to executive leadership, providing actionable strategic feedback from the field to regional sales and marketing heads.\n4. Leadership, Culture & Scale\nScale Through Layers: Directly manage, mentor, and elevate 2 Regional ADR Managers, building a unified global leadership layer.\nHigh-Performance Culture: Foster a competitive, highly accountable, and data-driven culture that prioritizes continuous coaching, skills development, and technical curiosity.\nRecruit, Retain, and Develop: Build a best-in-class global ADR organization by recruiting, retaining, and developing the team by establishing career paths, challenging goals and incentives, and building teams within Cognex culture.\nAdditional Job Description","description_format":"text","description_chars":5993,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Mexico","iso":"MX","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Automation","Machine Vision & 3D Cameras","Barcode & RFID Hardware"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T20:07:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":50,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T06:52:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cognex-senior-manager-global-account-development","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cognex-senior-manager-global-account-development.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T14:30:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":33621,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5283},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5283"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcognex-senior-manager-global-account-development"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcognex-senior-manager-global-account-development"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcognex-senior-manager-global-account-development"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cognex-senior-manager-global-account-development\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcognex-senior-manager-global-account-development"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3833062}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cognex.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3833062},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
