01 · THE WORK UNDER THE TITLE

A title is a label.
Custody is the real role.

The specimen separates purpose, capability and decision rights so seniority language cannot masquerade as demonstrated scope.

RESPONSIBILITY

01Shape routes to market, framework positions, client pursuits and reusable commercial access.

02Protect account growth across the pursuit.

03Make pursuit strategy visible before release.

CAPABILITY

01account growth

02pursuit strategy

03framework governance

04client research

05pipeline management

06pitch coaching

DECISION RIGHT
Alter the route, reject weak commitments and convene challenge across functions.
Authority still depends on the organisation, contract and delegated governance.

02 · PRACTICE ALLOCATION

Where the role’s attention is expected to move.

This is a disclosed role model for comparison, not time-and-motion measurement of every person carrying this title.

03 · ENTRY × EXCEPTIONAL PRACTICE

Knowledge may open the door.
Applied judgement changes the room.

Neither side is a personality type. The difference is whether claims can be traced to decisions, artefacts, outcomes, boundaries and learning.

ENTRY SIGNAL

Business, marketing, sales or procurement learning can help; employers should test how the person turns access into controlled, deliverable pursuits.

Test gently

Ask the person to reconstruct one task, one difficulty and one correction. Look for curiosity, honest boundaries and the ability to use feedback.

EXCEPTIONAL PRACTICE

Can show disciplined no-bid decisions, framework utilisation, stronger pursuit positioning and lessons that changed later choices.

Test precisely

Ask what they stopped, protected, measured, transferred and changed in the operating system—not only what the team won.
