- Understand customer strategies, challenges, and priorities and identify where GIS and Esri technology can deliver meaningful value.
- Work closely with Sales colleagues to identify opportunities and shape compelling propositions.
- Provide senior technical leadership across customer projects and work packages.
- Guide solution components through design, build, test, and deployment.
- Support estimation, planning, and technical decision-making across projects.
- Bring practical delivery experience and technical credibility to customer and commercial conversations.
- Work collaboratively with Project Managers, Solution Architects, consultants, and wider business teams.
- Provide technical and consulting input into proposals and bids.
- Coach and mentor Senior Consultants and less experienced colleagues.
- Share knowledge and contribute to the development of our Professional Services capability.
- Maintain awareness of developments across GIS, technology, and relevant customer sectors.
