You’ll also serve as a trusted advisor to the client, maintaining a consistent presence in the region, staying ahead of their project pipeline, following up on outstanding proposals, and identifying opportunities to expand Atwell’s support. Internally, you’ll manage project documentation in Vision, oversee invoicing and collections, and deliver regular financial and progress reporting to leadership.
