• Work closely with the Sales Solution Architect to ensure the Preservica solution is clearly matched to each prospect's technical and business requirements.
• Manage and respond to RFPs and RFIs in conjunction with our Solutions Architects and RFP Manager.
• Provide commercial support and guidance to third-party channel partners on larger, partner-led opportunities.
