This is a player-coach role. You will personally stay close to important opportunities and client situations while helping the team consistently perform at a higher level.

• Run regular pipeline, conversion and performance reviews.
• Escalate risks with a diagnosis and proposed solution, not just the problem.
2. Coach the Team to Sell Better
• Coach planners on qualification, discovery, proposals, pricing, negotiation, follow-up and closing.
• Review live opportunities and help unblock difficult deals.
• Identify what separates high performers from low performers and replicate those behaviours across the team.
• Develop underperforming planners through transparent expectations, coaching and follow-through.
• Build a culture of ownership, urgency and commercial discipline.
3. Stay Close to Clients & Sales
• Personally handle selected high-value opportunities and important client escalations.
• Support the team on complex negotiations and strategic account
