As a solution architect within the "TheBattery" team, you are one of the key players in the entire proposal process, from the lead to writing the winning proposal. This means that you carry out the prequalification together with colleagues, specify the customer's needs both technically and commercially, and then work with all disciplines to come to a comprehensive proposal.

Your communication skills allow you to navigate well at all levels.
