Your contribution

• •You shape the PCU vision and strategy, anticipate market and competitive changes and turn them into a clear portfolio roadmap and concrete initiatives – all within the agreed budgets and KPIs (e.g. NPS, retention, EBITA, revenue, margin, ARPU, bookings, SLA).
• •You lead go-to-market and opportunity management: you generate actionable market and customer insights, manage the pipeline and drive opportunities from concept to closure to secure sustainable revenue and margin growth.
