- Maintain accurate CRM and project tracking in the sales pipeline.
- Monitor active opportunities, escalating risks or delays that may impact client deliverables.
- Provide responsive support for smaller or emerging clients to maintain service quality.
- Polished communicator with warm and professional client presence.
