Ansys is the global leader in engineering simulation, helping the world's most innovative companies deliver radically better products to their customers. By offering the best and broadest portfolio of engineering simulation software, Ansys helps companies solve the most complex design challenges and engineer products limited only by imagination.

Summary

Ansys’s continuing rapid growth is fueled by bringing exciting and game changing new software solutions to market. As a Product Sales Manager you will be responsible for growing a portfolio of engineering software solutions. Unlike an account manager who focuses on selling all products into a limited selection of accounts, you will have access to all Ansys accounts in Japan, whether direct accounts or those managed by our network of channel partners. In this role, we will teach you about the products and the value that they bring to customers, but you won’t be expected to become an expert. You will need to understand the market, develop, and then execute a sales strategy. You will work in close collaboration with account managers, our technical team, our field marketing team and product management. This is a fantastic opportunity to broaden your sales skills into business development by working with a global software solutions leader. This position will suit an experienced salesperson who has a science or engineering education, or a presales engineer who is looking to transition into a sales or business development role.
