Deal Support & Governance

- Ensure compliance, version control, and approval alignment (finance, legal, delivery)
Risk & Handover Management
- Identify delivery risks and key assumptions early
- Lead structured handover to delivery teams
Process & Enablement
- Create scalable tools (SOW templates, pricing calculators, playbooks)
- Enable sales and delivery teams on best practices
Performance & Improvement

Requirements and Qualifications
- Degree in Business, Engineering, or related field

- Proven experience in Professional Services pre-sales, engagement management, or solution consulting within banking/fintech (core banking, payments, lending, or capital markets)
- Strong track record in developing SOWs, pricing models, and deal structures for large-scale software/SaaS implementation programs
- Experience working in a matrix environment, partnering closely with sales, delivery, product, finance, and legal teams within regulated financial services
- Highly detail-oriented with the ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder deals across regions
- Collaborative and confident in balancing client expectations, sales objectives, and delivery feasibility
- Strong judgment and ability to challenge scope, identify risks early, and protect delivery outcomes in a regulated environment
Skills
- Strong commercial acumen with experience in services pricing, margin optimization, and SaaS/implementation deal economics
- Excellent ability to translate complex banking/technical requirements into clear, structured SOWs and proposals
- Proficiency with CRM and PSA tools (e.g., Salesforce) and advanced Excel-based financial/pricing modeling
