- Coordinate effectively across customers, incumbent suppliers, internal delivery teams and third parties to ensure alignment, collaboration and timely issue resolution.
- Produce high‑quality bid responses and develop Transition Programme Plans for pre‑sales activities, including costing transition budgets and presenting transition approaches during bid presentations.
