What You'll Be Doing
Managing and developing client relationships, overseeing costings and quotations, attending client meetings, preparing tenders, running order handovers, leading the design team day-to-day, and reporting on performance — all with a focus on service excellence and commercial results.

- Excellent communication, negotiation, and influencing skills
- A data-driven, analytical approach to decision-making
