You’ll manage timelines, compliance and quality assurance, ensuring submissions meet CCS and government procurement standards.
You’ll develop winning themes and value propositions aligned to government priorities and buying behaviour.

You’ll also support public-sector sales operations in HubSpot, keeping pipeline data clean, tracking opportunities and supporting reporting.
