For the client group identified, the focus should be on evolving Quest Global toward a broader strategic engineering partnership spanning all products and services offered by the client

• Support/lead RFI/RFP responses, commercials, renewals and expansion opportunities.
• Build customer-specific business cases around quality, time-to-market, engineering capacity, automation, cost and delivery efficiency.
• Progress suitable engagements from T&M toward managed services, CoCs/CoEs and KPI/SLA/outcome-based models.

5. Internal Orchestration

• Work effectively across sales, technology, delivery, marketing, finance, talent acquisition and other enabling functions.
• Convert customer signals into internal campaigns, solutions, capability investments and hiring/delivery plans.
• Maintain ownership from initial customer conversation through pursuit, mobilization and subsequent expansion.
