• Shape strategic RFP responses and win themes in partnership with Pursuits, Pricing, and senior BD colleagues.
• Collaborate with Communications to ensure strong visibility across media, rankings, directories, and digital channels.
• Develop client-specific playbooks, account plans, and dashboards-tracking revenue and engagement across priority relationships.
