The Workforce1 Career Center (WF1CC) operates in coordination with the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) to provide recruitment, job training and business services. WF1CCs require the attention of professionals who can support major change initiatives, as well as ensure the success of a business-driven system.  We operate three such centers within the Bronx:  Main Hub (Fordham), West Farms (Tremont) and Hunts Point.  Each Center features dedicated services to targeted populations including veterans, the justice involved and youth, as well as services to the general population.  The Sales Account Manager (SAM) is the business engagement and management representative for the Bronx Workforce1 team.  As a SAM, you will be responsible for sourcing, engaging, selling to employers and managing employer relationships.  The SAM reports to the Business Services Manager and works closely with Career Advisors, Community Partner Coordinator, and Operations teams to ensure that we are collectively supporting the needs of jobseekers and employers.  To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions unless this causes undue hardship to the company.
