You will manage strategic campaigns—including the high-stakes launch of remote assistant and emergency response services in the UK—ensuring all technical metrics, safety SLAs, and complex client requirements are met with precision.

Strategic & Commercial Leadership

• AV Strategy & Market Intelligence: Act as a trusted advisor by deeply understanding the AV industry, competitive pressures, and the specific regulatory landscape of the UK market.
• Commercial Stewardship: Own the full financial forecasting for AV-specific accounts, ensuring top-line revenue targets and gross margins align with the specialized costs associated with high-tier technical support.
