What will you do
The Johnson Controls’ Accelerated Commercial Excellence (ACE) Program is an early career 18-month sales development program designed to transform recent graduates into skilled channel or product sales individuals. Over the course of the program, participants receive instructor-led intensive training, hands-on customer experience and mentorship to build technical expertise and sales acumen, preparing them for impactful sales roles within our organization. This program is designed to prepare candidates for product channel sales across seven different Johnson Controls’ business units with a single cohort, summer hiring cadence.
In this particular role, you will be supporting Johnson Controls’ Security Access Control and Video Surveillance (ACVS) business unit. Our security products are built on 30+ years of expertise in developing and delivering an ecosystem of access control and video surveillance software and hardware geared towards a broad range of uses, all the way from federal government applications, through to smaller commercial buildings. Our product range includes IP cameras, door controllers and locks, card readers, video management and access control software systems.
During the first six months of the program, the entire ACE cohort will be based out of Milwaukee WI working at Johnson Controls’ HQ office in the northwest suburb of Glendale WI.
