• Contribute to broader sales excellence initiatives, including key client management, growth strategy, and process improvement.

About you

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in business, engineering, planning, communications, journalism, public policy, or another relevant field.

• You bring experience in strategic planning, pursuit strategy, client engagement, business development, proposals, communications, or complex project environments.
• You translate technical and commercial information into clear, compelling strategies and messages.
• You are curious, proactive, and comfortable leading teams through ambiguity.
• You are a strong facilitator, writer, coach, and collaborator, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and influence stakeholders at different levels.
