You’ll apply your own intelligence and initiative. You will survey the market and network with senior staff at major tech companies. There is no cold calling. You will have a proactive, positive approach backed by your credentials in technical consultancy. You will welcome variety, pace, and the chance to grow your expertise and introduce companies who will work well together into the future.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Research into new and current markets, mapping out areas of overlap, and growing strategic and targeted campaigns.

• Refining your toolset, and reporting progress and results.
