• Microsoft
• AWS
• Google Cloud
• Databricks
• Snowflake

The role is responsible for creating new consulting and technology-services revenue by identifying client opportunities, building joint propositions, securing partner investment and leading co-sell activities.

This is a senior individual contributor role carrying a personal revenue target and operating at the intersection of partner sales, data and AI transformation, cloud platforms and consulting services.

Purpose of the Role

• Develop deep knowledge of the partner's sales organisation, commercial priorities and strategic objectives.
• Understand how partner teams are measured and how Capgemini can help them achieve their targets.
• Act as the primary commercial interface between the UK Insights & Data business and the assigned partner.
• Establish regular partner governance, account planning and opportunity reviews.

Client Opportunity Development

• Work with client account teams to identify and pursue opportunities aligned to partner technologies.
• Build joint propositions and business cases.
• Secure joint funding, assessments, proofs of concept and innovation investments where appropriate.
• Bring together relevant consulting, sales, solutioning and delivery teams.
• Develop compelling client value propositions focused on business outcomes.
• Support executive client engagement activities and strategic account planning.
• Own opportunity qualification and progression.
• Maintain accurate pipeline, forecasting and opportunity reporting.
• Ensure opportunities are commercially viable and support profitable growth.
• Improve partner-led win rates and conversion performance.
• Support commercial negotiations and contract-signature activities.

Territory Structure

Each Specialist Sales Lead will:

• Align to one strategic technology partner.
• Operate across all UK industries and market units.
• Carry an individual revenue target.
• Create and manage their own qualified pipeline.
• Work alongside client ownership teams and account leaders.
• Be accountable for creating incremental growth opportunities and revenue.

The partner is the territory.The role does not own client accounts or account plans but is expected to influence growth across a broad portfolio of strategic clients through partner-led opportunities.

What You'll Bring

• Minimum 10 year’s experience in enterprise technology sales, consulting sales, business development or partner sales.
• Demonstrated track record of generating multi-million-pound consulting or services revenue.
