  • Deliver high-quality client presentations, technical reports, score simulations, strategic recommendations, and advisory feedback.
  • Maintain strong client relationships and ensure service excellence, client satisfaction, and long-term retention.
  • Proactively identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within the client portfolio.
  • Contribute to new business acquisition through consultations, solution design, technical input, and proposal support.
  • Mentor and support junior consultants where required and contribute to the overall technical quality and consulting standards of the business.
