Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am responsible for winning and retaining contracts which go through either a competitive tender process or single-source bids where there is no competition. I manage matrix teams through a process which includes creation of the solution, writing proposals, taking the item through internal governance and negotiating the contract with the customer.
