It carries real influence over both winning new work and keeping customers for the long term.

You’ll bridge sales, delivery and operations, working alongside Sales and Commercial teams, Service Delivery Managers, engineers, project managers and architects from other divisions.

Externally, the role builds trusted relationships with CIOs, customer SDMs, technical leaders, technology vendors, partners and carriers. The impact is profitable growth and consistently high service quality across our managed network services.

• Lead the design of managed network solutions across complex, enterprise scale customer environments, balancing technical excellence with commercial viability
• Engage customers during pre sales, demonstrating our capability and building credibility with technical and executive stakeholders
• Translate business requirements into scalable, resilient technical solutions aligned to our managed services delivery model
• Partner with Sales and Commercial teams on bid responses, proposals and customer workshops
• Guide customers from pre sales through transition and into operational delivery, protecting design integrity at every stage
• Drive in life optimisation by spotting opportunities to improve performance, reduce complexity and add value for customers
• Become the go to technical authority for your customers, representing our Network Services division with credibility and confidence

What You’ll Bring

The Essentials

• 8 to 12 years in network engineering or architecture within telecommunications, managed services or systems integration, including telecommunications solution design
• Proven experience designing enterprise scale managed network solutions, backed by strong pre sales and customer facing architecture experience
• Hands on SD WAN and network security solution design, including SASE, across multi vendor platforms such as Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper or Palo Alto
• Commercial awareness of managed services delivery models, contracts and value driven delivery
• The ability to turn business requirements into scalable solutions, and the confidence to engage technical and executive stakeholders alike

Even if you don’t tick every box, don’t let that hold you back. If this sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d genuinely love to hear from you.
