- Communicate CWAN’s core value proposition persuasively, through written documentation, demonstrations and live presentations.
- Own the completion, organisation and coordination of prospect RFPs and DDQs, ensuring high-quality, accurate and timely responses.
- Conduct the research and preparation that underpins high-impact sales meetings and demos.
- Coordinate resources across CWAN to support sales efforts and a smooth transition of new clients to our Global Delivery team.
- Solve complex, abstract problems and develop creative solutions to non-standard client requirements.
