Proactively identify and qualify new business opportunities, contributing to proposals, RFP responses, and executive presentations. Leverage an existing network — particularly in the Resources sector (Utilities, Oil & Gas) — to generate pipeline and accelerate commercial conversations. Develop compelling points of view and credentials that differentiate the firm's offering in the market.
People & Practice DevelopmentManage and mentor multi‐disciplinary project teams, fostering a high‐performance culture and developing junior talent.
