  • Establish migration strategies tailored to Cisco UC and VoIP solutions.
  • Propose implementation schedules.
  • Supervise the drafting of SLAs and penalties to meet client expectations.

  • Participate in client presentations.
  • Follow up on dossiers, including answering questions, negotiating tariffs, and managing scope changes.
  • Participate in feedback sessions and contribute to knowledge capitalisation.
  • Prepare internal business transfer meetings to hand over finalised dossiers to operational teams.


Required Skills and Experience:
  • Experience writing responses to commercial requests, including RFIs and tenders.
