Who We Are

We’re a global technology communications company that empowers people and businesses to stay connected and thrive in a digital world. With a focus on innovation, sustainability and earning customer loyalty, we leverage cutting-edge technology to offer products and services that enhance communication and improve lives.

At Vodafone UK, diversity isn’t just a buzzword, it is core to who we are as a company. We’re proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work and are committed to driving inclusion for all; creating a workplace that is fully representative of the communities and customers we serve.

Be part of Vodafone Business UK, a team that are revolutionising how customers use technology and connectivity. With our extensive range of products and services, we help all kinds of organisations – from small, local businesses to multi-national corporations – unlocking the potential of new technologies, including 5G, AI and the Internet of Things (IoT).

What you’ll do

In this customer facing role you will be responsible for engaging across a broad range of contact points within a customer organisation and determine how our technology solutions will interlock with the client’s business operation to provide market-leading service for that customer.

You will be developing interim and future operating models to ensure service performance, contract compliance and service transition planning.

Working with global clients who are UK-centric as part of the Pre-Sales Solution Design organisation in Vodafone UK, you will typically own opportunities worth up to £100M TCV. The nature, criticality and scale of some of these opportunities will allow you to influence and ‘change the way Britain works’.

You will support both private sector and public sector client opportunities and are therefore expected to understand the procurement frameworks and processes associated with both. You will respond to requests for new technology or technology-derived solutions from the customer but will also be accountable for demand generation activities i.e. pro-actively creating new opportunities to sell Vodafone solutions.

Who you are

• 
  An individual with client engagement experience at multiple levels with strong communications and negotiation skills
• Experience of Service Design, preferably with Telecommunication services.
• ITIL v3 experience with an aim to gain v4 accreditation.
• Eligible for SC clearance
