Hitachi Energy is seeking candidates to join the Hub Marketing and Sales team or the Power Transformers Product Line. The Non-Utility Regional Business Development Manager (BDM) will collaborate closely with the entire sales and marketing community across Latin America, while functionally reporting to the HUB Marketing and Sales Manager.

As a BDM, you will play a crucial role in driving growth within non-traditional and high-potential market segments by promoting and selling the HE portfolio.
