  • Manage and optimise CRM data, ensuring all client and project information is accurate, comprehensive, and utilised for strategic decision-making.
  • Mentor and develop junior team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth within the team.
  • Take a lead role in pitches and client meetings, providing expert insights and representing the company at a high level to secure new business opportunities.
