Closing position
Hire me to select the right platform, land 30 September, and set the 14-country rollout up to actually succeed.
In the first four weeks I will lock requirements, run the Monday / Salesforce / Edison365 evaluation and put a scored recommendation on the CEO's desk. In the following nine weeks I will get Bulgaria live, Excel bidding retired, and a live 14-country rollout plan approved, inside a ~£250k envelope tracked openly.
