Network Growth Managers (NGMs) work alongside Account Managers Account Executives to activate and grow supplier networks across Sedex's buyer base. They are the primary driver of supplier volume growth on the platform - bringing structured pipeline management, commercial rigour and buyer partnership to a function that is central to Sedex's five-year growth plan. /p pNGMs operate in two distinct contexts: working within existing buyer accounts to identify and activate high-potential supplier growth opportunities, and engaging pre-sales with new buyer prospects to ensure supplier growth is embedded from day one. In both contexts, the mandate is singular: supplier growth. Support, training and platform queries are responsibility of the Account Management or Customer Excellence teams. /p h3Key Responsibilities /h3 h3Supplier volume growth — existing buyer accounts /h3 ul liIdentify the highest-potential buyers within your assigned portfolio using platform data and buyer signals, building a prioritised pipeline of supplier growth opportunities. /li liWork alongside marketing, data subject matter experts to build campaigns and collateral to drive urgency and action for buyers to grow their network. /li liLead the commercial conversation with buyers to agree supplier growth goals, milestones and engagement plans.
