- Quantify delivery risks and certainty, supporting informed commercial and leadership decision-making
- Present solutions to customers during bids and orals, acting as solution owner and incorporating customer feedback into iterative proposals
- Provide independent quality assurance and solution reviews for both large and smaller service tower-led opportunities
