Your role

You are an energetic technical leader and industry expert with a clear passion for the solutions delivered, able to inspire both clients and delivery teams. You deeply understand client needs, assess and challenge existing environments, and provide strategic leadership on the transformation and evolution of communications, networking, and wider digital solutions. Using strong consultancy skills, you build trusted relationships throughout the sales lifecycle and early delivery phases, leading to long-term engagement with senior technical leaders and CxOs across the Connectivity, Networks, and Smart/Digital Engineering portfolios.

You lead and motivate a high-performing pre-sales solutions architecture team to exceed sales and billing targets, while working closely with multi‑functional delivery teams to ensure successful execution.
