  • Strong commercial acumen with experience managing negotiations, procurement processes, pricing discussions, and contract agreements.
  • Ability to engage and build credibility with senior stakeholders across mid-market and enterprise organisations.
  • Strong organisational skills with experience managing pipeline, sales forecasts, CRM data, and reporting accurately.
