Lenovo is seeking a high-impact OEM Channel Tablet Business Development Manager to lead and grow our North American tablet business. This is a hunter role at the intersection of direct business development and channel-led sales — focused on acquiring new logos, OEM design wins, and driving programs that deliver acquisition sales revenue.

As a North American Tablet BDM, you will go beyond traditional sales. You will co-develop solutions from Lenovo’s existing Tablet Roadmap, shape the future product roadmap through Use Case and Business Case justification, and serve as a key commercial voice for Lenovo’s tablet portfolio across verticals. From initial prospecting to executive-level close, you will drive revenue and long-term profit growth — championing Lenovo’s solutions to make customers more productive, innovative, and transformative.

This is a BU and client-facing role requiring Android tablet and OEM industry experience, executive-level presence, and a proven ability to identify, cultivate, and close large, complex deals.

Hunt and develop new business — Lead prospecting, scoping, and development of net new accounts and OEM programs as the core function of this role, driving consistent revenue growth year over year. Drive channel collaboration — Partner with NSPs, Tier 2 partners, system integrators, and mobility partners to scale the region. Collaborate with cross-functional teams and work to deliver on customer commitments. Shape the product roadmap — Leverage customer Use Cases and Business Case justifications to influence Lenovo’s future Tablet Roadmap (POR) and ensure the BU has the insight needed to prioritize new products and solutions. Build trusted advisor relationships — Apply embedded design sales experience to position yourself as a strategic partner at the executive level, engaging Business Line leaders and key Decision Makers. Forecast with precision — Maintain accurate, timely forecasting of growth, run rate, and pipeline across North America. Promote Lenovo’s full Tablet portfolio — Champion Lenovo’s tablet, accessory, and adjacent third-party solutions — spanning mobility, software, management tools, and custom services — through outbound communications, RFPs, QBRs, and industry events. Represent Lenovo externally — Present at Lenovo Solution Days, lead executive business reviews, and position Lenovo OEM as a strategic solution provider at relevant tradeshows and on-stage engagements. Analyze and solve — Apply data-driven decision making to identify the best solutions for customer challenges, lead negotiations, and drive deals to close.
