• Identify and document solution assumptions, dependencies, risks, exclusions and customer responsibilities to support clear handover and delivery governance.
• Maintain strong working relationships with vendors and technology partners, keeping up to date with market developments and emerging media workflow trends.
• Represent Jigsaw24 at customer meetings, workshops, webinars, industry events and trade shows where technical pre-sales input is required.
• Support marketing and proposition activity by providing technical insight into campaigns, customer messaging and go-to-market material.
• Maintain accurate opportunity notes, design assumptions and pre-sales activity records within relevant business systems.
• Share knowledge internally and support the continued development of Jigsaw24’s media workflow, production and live services capabilities.

Education, Skills, Knowledge and Experience:

• Strong knowledge of the media and entertainment sector, with practical understanding of post-production, broadcast, live production or creative workflow environments.
• Experience in a technical pre-sales, solutions consulting, systems engineering, workflow consultancy or senior technical delivery role.

• Ability to translate customer requirements into clear technical and commercial solutions that deliver measurable value.
• Confident communicator with strong written, verbal and presentation skills, including the ability to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience producing technical proposals, solution designs, scopes of work or customer-facing documentation.
• Ability to manage multiple opportunities at different stages while maintaining quality, accuracy and agreed timescales.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across Sales, Projects, Engineering, Service Delivery, Marketing and vendor teams.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to balance customer requirements, technical feasibility, delivery capability and margin expectations.
• Organised, proactive and comfortable taking ownership of tasks, risks and follow-up actions.
