To succeed, you’ll need strong stakeholder management, commercial judgment, and leadership skills. Acting as a senior contact for clients, partners, and internal teams, you will contribute to solution design, proposal work, pricing conversations, and senior customer discussions while also improving the performance of the Special Projects function.
