3. Advise customers on where and how Fleet Management technology creates value, aligning algorithms, constraints, and execution logic with real-world operational models.
4. Translate customer business models into scalable, future-proof solution concepts, considering optimisation algorithms, constraints, cost drivers, and service trade-offs.
5. Analyse current (“As-Is”) fleet, transportation, and execution architectures and define future-state (“To-Be”) designs with clear transition and value-realisation roadmaps.
6. Create and own end-to-end solution concepts, ensuring interoperability across planning, execution, and external partner ecosystems.
7. Act as a functional and architectural authority throughout the project lifecycle, guiding implementation teams to ensure solution quality and delivery excellence.
8. Support and coach project teams with best-practice guidance, design validation, and problem-solving to ensure solutions meet intended business outcomes.

10. Support sales and pre-sales activities from a functional, operational, and value-based perspective, convincingly articulating solution benefits and transformation paths.
11. Deliver compelling presentations and workshops for operational leaders, management, and executive stakeholders.
12. Identify opportunities for optimisation, expansion, and incremental value creation in collaboration with customer account teams.
13. Ensure robust knowledge transfer to customer organisations, enabling sustainable operations and continuous improvement post go-live.
14. Collaborate closely with Product Management and Development to provide field feedback, align on roadmap evolution, and stay current on new capabilities.
