• Ability to coordinate directly with technical teams during discovery calls

What We're Looking for

We are looking for professionals who think beyond basic bidding. The ideal candidate understands positioning, client psychology, relationship building, and strategic communication.

• You should be capable of representing a growing global technology company with confidence, professionalism, and maturity.
