  • Track projects from inception to delivery using CRM tools, ensuring efficient lead management and forecasting.
  • Provide technical advice on shading solutions, including façade performance analysis (glare, solar radiation), mechanical performance, aesthetics, and control systems.
  • Represent Draper at industry events, presentations, and training sessions.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure accurate quotations and order processing.
  • Monitor market trends, competitor products, and pricing to inform strategy.
  • Maintain relationships with internal project management, delivery partners and stakeholders to ensure successful project execution.
