  • Win High-Value Bids: Lead the end-to-end bid process for major public sector frameworks (including G-Cloud, DOS, and AI DPS), leveraging our thought leadership to create winning proposals.
  • Deepen Strategic Relationships: Cultivate and nurture relationships with senior leaders and departmental decision-makers across your target accounts, becoming a trusted advisor on AI-driven transformation and operational productivity.
  • Shape and Sell Our Value Proposition: Articulate the Elsewhen proposition for public sector buyers, clearly communicating how our AI-powered solutions in LLM, Generative AI, and Machine Learning can solve their most pressing challenges and drive sales.
  • Represent Elsewhen: Act as the public face of our public sector practice at key industry events and TechUK sessions to build our brand, generate leads, and enhance our position as an innovator in the sector.
