• Contributes to the development of Go2Market materials (product presentations, operational processes, guides for sales teams and customers), in collaboration with the technical, customer operations, marketing, sales enablement and go2market teams.
• Monitors the execution of solutions in the portfolio, following up on deadlines, budgets, deliverable quality and defined performance indicators (KPIs), periodically reporting progress to the Chapter Lead.
• Contributes to the development of business cases for managed solutions, providing inputs on costs, estimated revenues, profitability model and associated risks.
• Coordinates the operational relationship with external partners to define and agree on SLAs and KPIs that support a positive experience for the end customer and for Vodafone sales teams.
• Ensures the update of the status of solutions in the internal portfolio management systems and contributes to the transparency of execution within the team and towards VBU management.
• Coordinates the tracing of processes and execution flows that allow clear reporting of profitability at solution, partner and customer level, in collaboration with the finance and architecture teams.
• Coordinates the compliance of solutions and processes with internal audit norms and provides support in the preparation and support of external certifications or audits regarding quality and operational processes.
