What will you be doing?  
 
In this customer facing role you will be responsible for engaging across a broad range of contact points within a customer organisation and determine the technology solution required to provide market-leading service to that customer. 

Working with global clients who are UK-centric as part of the Solution Design organisation in Vodafone UK, you will typically own opportunities worth up to £100M TCV. The nature, criticality and scale of some of these opportunities will allow you to influence and ‘change the way Britain works’.

You will support both private sector and public sector clients and are therefore expected to understand the procurement frameworks and processes associated with both. You will respond to requests for new technology or technology-derived solutions from the customer but will also be accountable for demand generation activities i.e. pro-actively creating new opportunities to sell Vodafone solutions.
