• Position Digital Engagement as a strategic platform decision, not a feature purchase
• Connect technology to outcomes: growth, cost reduction, compliance, speed to market

Lead Complex Deals End to End

• Collaborate closely with Presales and internal experts to shape tailored, high impact solutions
• Lead deal and bid teams, including RFx responses, to design and defend winning proposals
• Take ownership of contract negotiations, working confidently with Legal, Finance and senior stakeholders

• Ideally candidates would have worked and supported clients through digital transformations.
