You will help implement VantagePoint’s new project governance framework and contribute to our ongoing delivery excellence initiative, driving consistency & continuous improvement across all engagements.
You will take ownership of account management and customer success, building strong client relationships, managing expectations and handling change control effectively. Alongside delivery, you will support commercial growth by shaping proposals, contributing to sales cycles and developing long-term client relationships.
