- Leverage your existing network within the Private Sector to help grow and nurture the business.
- As the Sector Head, you will identify, create, and influence new opportunities within your customer accounts and the broader Private Sector market. This includes responsibility for driving pre-sales in conjunction with commercial counterparts. Bid work, proposition development, creating reusable collateral and participating in business development meetings with customers/prospective customers will be required.
- Working closely with your counterpart in the commercial team, you will proactively drive and capture demand for our Service Lines.
- This role carries with it the implicit obligation to promote and deliver on both the Private Sector and Version 1 corporate agenda. As a key part of the Digital, Data and Cloud Leadership team, the Sector Head will champion our Core Values and will support excellence in operations (reporting, controls, forecasting inputs and overall governance).
- As the Sector Head, you will be expected develop enduring relationships with colleagues and customers. Regular travel within the UK & Ireland, with occasional travel to US & India should be expected.

**Responsible for**:
