• Build and sustain senior‑level customer relationships across MoD, Defence Digital, training authorities, and partner organisations to shape future requirements early.
• Develop a high‑quality, credible pipeline of TTS opportunities, maintaining accurate forecasting and reporting through the company opportunity management system.
• Lead or support Shipley‑based capture activities, including win strategy, customer value propositions, teaming strategies, and competitive positioning.
• Work closely with the Head of Business Development - Training Transformation, solution architects, delivery leads, and finance to ensure bids are executable, affordable, and aligned to strategic priorities.
• Identify and pursue international and cross‑domain opportunities, including allied Defence markets (e.g. AUKUS, Five Eyes), where they align to Raytheon UK TTS capability.
• Represent TTS in customer briefings, industry events, and internal governance, acting as an informed and credible voice for the training business.
• Provide market insight and customer intelligence to inform portfolio evolution, capability investment, and future offering development.

• Demonstrable experience shaping opportunities and leading complex bids using structured capture methodologies (e.g. Shipley).
• Credibility operating with senior military, civil service, and industry stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to articulate training transformation service value propositions, not just products.
