Ability to develop and implement BD strategies aligned with organisational goals and provide strategic input into pitches and panel submissions.
Strong collaboration skills across global teams and sectors, with experience leveraging global tools and resources to enhance BD effectiveness.
Advanced analytical skills, including the use of data insights, market intelligence, and technology to inform BD activities and generate actionable opportunities.
A degree in marketing, business, or a related field; advanced leadership or marketing qualifications are desirable.
