Commercial Management:

- Ensure estimates are validated and reviewed according to an agreed best-practice approach.

- Support sales and Account Management in pre-sales activities, including client meetings and the production of proposals for Managed Services as required.

- Support the Sales team with proposition development for Managed Services.

- Ensure that the Managed Services team works collaboratively with Account Managers to identify and fulfil new business opportunities.

- Ensure that financial objectives for all Managed Services are met.
