• A demonstrable track record of winning and growing business within the Home Office and/or Central Government sector.
• Strong knowledge of UK government procurement frameworks, buying processes and commercial models.
• Experience selling complex technology, digital transformation, consulting or managed services solutions.
• The credibility and confidence to engage and influence senior executive stakeholders.
