Jr. Account Manager - Healthcare Technology Solutions

Cogent Technology Resource LLC – Tucker / Metro Atlanta, Georgia
Full-Time | W-2 | Reports to VP of Operations
Compensation: $58,000–$69,000 per year

This Is Not a Traditional Sales Position. Hands-on IT and installation experience is required and is part of this role.

Cogent Technology Resource is hiring a Jr. Account Manager to develop into a customer-facing account-management position supporting hospitals and healthcare organizations throughout Metro Atlanta.

This is a structured growth opportunity for someone with experience in healthcare technology, medical equipment, AV, low-voltage systems, installation, field service, IT deployment, construction coordination, facilities, or technical project support.

The person selected for this position will begin by working alongside Cogent's field teams for approximately two to four months to understand what we install, how our projects are completed, and what our technicians experience in active healthcare environments. This requires current vaccination records and successful completion of a comprehensive background check. Applicants must meet all company-specific background-screening requirements to be eligible for employment and assignment.

They will then spend approximately six months in an administrative support role, assisting Account Managers and Account Coordinators from the office before gradually beginning to work directly with customers.

Cogent works with hospitals and healthcare systems to plan, coordinate, and implement technology solutions used in active patient-care environments. Our work includes patient-facing technology, clinical workstations, computers, displays, mounting systems, mobile carts, virtual-care equipment, and supporting infrastructure.

We do more than sell products. We help customers plan practical solutions, coordinate installation requirements, and successfully complete projects in complex healthcare environments.

Training and Development Path

This position is designed to develop someone into a knowledgeable and capable healthcare technology Account Manager.

Phase One: Field and Technical Immersion

During the initial phase, you will:

• Observe the challenges involved in working inside active hospitals and construction environments
• Learn Cogent’s expectations for quality, cleanliness, communication, documentation, and customer service

This phase may involve hands-on work and regular travel to customer locations throughout Metro Atlanta.

Phase Two: Office-Based Account Support

During this phase, you will:

• Provide administrative support to Account Managers with quotes, proposals, scopes of work, and customer follow-up

• Assist with smaller customer requests and internal account-management tasks

After completing the field and office-support phasesand demonstrating sufficient technical knowledge, communication skills, and readinessyou will begin working directly with customers.

This may include:

• Accompanying Account Managers to customer meetings and site walkthroughs

• Following up with customers regarding quotes, project details, and open requests
• Managing smaller customer requests and less-complex account activity
