Position Overview

The role is responsible for driving projects from sales opportunity to contract-ready and execution-ready, ensuring clear alignment across technical, commercial, contractual, and delivery requirements throughout the pre-sales stage.

Because discovering that everyone had a different understanding of the project after the contract is signed is an unnecessarily expensive way to build team spirit.
