and work with Solution Architects, Delivery Leaders, Capability teams and SMEs to shape

relevant propositions.

bid/no-bid, pricing coordination and submission governance.

● Maintain solid follow-through on active opportunities, capture win/loss insights and help

progress qualified deals toward commercial discussion and closure.

5. Account Mining, CRM & Pipeline Governance

● Work with Sales and Delivery to identify whitespace, cross-sell and upsell opportunities,

additional buying centres and expansion propositions within existing accounts.

● Maintain accurate CRM data for opportunity stage, deal value, stakeholders, next actions,
