About the job you are considering
Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for shaping the future of business? Join a team where your voice matters, your ideas are valued, and your leadership can make a lasting impact. We\’re looking for a dynamic and driven Strategic Deal Maker to join our high-performing Strategic Deal team within the UK TMTS (Telecom, Media, Technology & Services) sector.
Reporting directly to the Head of Sales, this role offers the opportunity to lead from the front-originating and guiding complex, high-value deals (valued at over €20M) that span multiple disciplines, business units, and geographies. You\’ll be at the heart of transformation, helping clients reimagine their future through innovative, value-driven solutions.
You\’ll work closely with senior leaders and clients at the highest levels, developing trusted relationships and shaping propositions that support business transformation, joint ventures, and new market strategies. Your ability to listen, collaborate, and lead with empathy will be key to inspiring cross-functional teams and delivering exceptional outcomes.
Once a deal progresses from the origination phase and is formally qualified, you will take full accountability for leading the pursuit. Working closely with the UK Market Unit, Strategic Business Unit, and Group Account Executive, you will further develop the sales, pricing, and commercial strategies, refine the client value proposition, and lead the negotiation of the final contract with the support of a dedicated deal team.
This is more than a sales role-it\’s a chance to influence the direction of major industries while working in an environment that supports your growth and champions diverse perspectives. You\’ll be empowered to bring your whole self to work, supported by a culture that values inclusion, flexibility, and balance.
If you\’re ready to lead with purpose, build meaningful relationships, and drive strategic change, we\’d love to hear from you.

• Exceptional ability to build and maintain trusted relationships at the CxO level, backed by a wide network of clients, advisors, and partners.
