* Supporting your team in customer meetings and negotiations, providing commercial and technical guidance when needed.
* Working closely with Service Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, Project Management and Commercial teams to ensure sellable, deliverable and profitable service solutions.
** Your background
*** A strong track record in service sales, particularly new service business and long‐term contract sales.

* Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills.
* Confidence using Office 365 tools, Salesforce CRM systems to manage performance and pipeline.
** Build a team. Grow a service business.
