As well as developing differentiated offerings and directing proposals, this role will drive collaboration across the breadth of NTT DATA practices and market sectors.

You will be a strong communicator, capable of generating written material of extremely high quality and presenting confidently.

You will own and develop close relationships with senior technology and solution stakeholders across our customer base and with our key partners.
You will be responsible for leading pre-sales activity across a range of deals; influencing direction through close client relationships, directing responses to formal procurements (e.g. RFx) and supporting proactive campaigns. You will be pivotal to proposal generation, responsible for delivering an integrated solution and coordinated delivery plans across all technology domains and business practices. You will be authoring your own content, as well as orchestrating and aligning content from across the business. You'll lead the generation of thought leadership and be capable of developing innovative propositions that will differentiate us within the market.
Your primary objectives will be to:
+ quickly distil customer needs or goals into a simple vision and story board that can act as a central pivot for pre-sales activities
+ author creative and persuasive pre-sales content and thought leadership
+ develop close relationships with key customer stakeholders, influencing and supporting our clients' technical strategies

+ build and leverage a wide senior-level network to navigate the global delivery organisation
+ develop capability; building momentum across the organisation to create a virtual team of creative content-writers, with great communication skills and strong commercial awareness
+ optimise knowledge; creating quality content that can be reused, building continual improvement into our knowledge estate and pre-sales assets
**What experience you'll bring:**
To take advantage of this opportunity you will need to be a highly structured individual with solid technical background and the ability to lead people and orchestrate multiple points of view. Experience in both delivery and operational roles would be beneficial.
+ You must be comfortable operating with high levels of ambiguity, you must have the ability to be bold, bring clarity and build confidence in our understanding of each opportunity
+ Your experience will enable you to tap into your innate knowledge to rapidly qualify opportunities and provide a view on complexity, opportunity size and risk
+ You must be able to unravel business ideas and get to the root of real business value to help our technical architects and business consultants create solutions that will excite our clients
+ Working with a global network of inspiring technologists, you must be able to harness talent from across the NTT Data family to generate solution collateral
+ Whilst working alongside technology and business experts, you must be familiar working with reference architectures and high-level technology patterns & designs
+ The role will demand you to be a strong influencer, having the ability to build good working relationships with delivery partners at all levels within the organisation
+ You must be a great visual storyteller, able to bring solutions to life to help our customers understand and embrace the value of change & technology
Education and Experience
+ 10+ years of technical delivery experience on complex engagements, at least some of which has been within the UK Public Sector
