• Get personally involved in strategic deals and key customer engagements, providing senior technical and commercial input where it matters most.
• Sit on the Sales and Commercial leadership team, contributing to broader go‑to‑market strategy and decision‑making.
• Work closely with Services and Technical teams to ensure a smooth handover from pre‑sales to delivery, and that customer requirements are well understood and met.
• Develop and maintain extensive knowledge of market trends, competitor products and industry developments, and ensure this is reflected in the team’s approach.
• Provide training and support to other functions within the commercial team.
• Establish and maintain strong relationships with customers and partners, serving as a senior technical advisor.

• Minimum of 3‑5 years' experience managing a pre‑sales /Solution Consulting team.

• Proven ability to lead a high‑performing team across multiple geographies.
• Strong track record of partnering with Sales leadership to drive revenue in enterprise or high‑growth software environments.
• Proven ability to understand complex technical products and solutions, and to translate these into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with experience operating at leadership level across Sales, Product and Technical functions.

• Comfortable getting hands‑on in strategic deals and complex customer engagements.
