- Commercial Writing: Skill in drafting structured commercial proposals, quotes, or helping with technical tenders.
- Account Growth: A track record of securing account renewals and identifying upsell opportunities.
- Communication: Elite verbal and written communication skills suitable for high-level academic and industrial stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
