A note on the job title
We know that different companies use different language for similar roles. In our structure, this position is known as an Outside Sales Representative, but we appreciate that term might not land with everyone. So, we’ve called it External Account Manager here to make it clearer. The role and responsibilities are the same, it’s just the name that differs.
