ABOUT US With over 30 years of expertise, Apogee transforms how organisations of every size and sector manage their IT - delivering everything they need through one seamless point of contact. As an independent subsidiary of HP Inc., we combine the agility of a specialist provider with the power of one of the world's leading technology companies, giving our clients instant access to cutting-edge innovation backed by market-leading service operations! JOB DETAILS Some people scroll past a clunky, manual process you stare at it and think, this could run itself! That is who we are looking for. Apogee built its name in Managed Print. Now we are pushing hard into Managed IT and intelligent automation. We do not need a pure technologist sitting in a corner building features. We need someone commercially sharp. Curious. Slightly restless. Someone who understands platforms such as DocuWare, Acora, Ricoh and Tungsten - and can spot where a smart workflow or automation tool could genuinely change how a client operates. This is about instinct as much as expertise. The role You will own our Process Automation portfolio. You will sit between vendors with ambitious roadmaps and a sales team that knows how to win - and make the two click! If you find a new application, you will pressure-test it properly: Is this solving a real problem or just looking clever? Will clients pay for it? Can we deliver it brilliantly You will not just suggest ideas. You will carry them. What you will actually be doing Vendor matchmaking - You will build proper relationships, not transactional ones. You will challenge vendors. You will ask what is coming next. You will know before others do. Shaping the case - You will take opportunities to the Technical Steering Group with clarity. ROI mapped. Delivery model defined. Risks understood. If it is approved, you will know exactly why. Owning the launch - No dusty product launches. You will work with Sales Enablement and Directors to make sure teams understand the story, the value, and the angle. You will sit with Pre-Sales to shape real solutions. You will stay close until revenue proves the model works. Sector focus - You will adapt solutions for Commercial, Strategic and Public Sector clients - including alignment with NHS transformation priorities where relevant. One size does not fit all. Retention thinking - You will think beyond signature. The goal is to make automation indispensable - so when renewal comes around, removing it would feel like switching off the lights. A typical working pattern is Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:30, with a one-hour lunch break. SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED Experience launching and commercialising digital, automation or IT-enabled services within Managed Services, SaaS, workflow or document environments. Strong commercial judgement - you can build a clear business case, challenge assumptions, and balance opportunity with risk. Technical fluency - you understand how automation solutions integrate into wider IT estates (APIs, cloud, security, delivery models) without needing to build them yourself. Confidence working cross-functionally - Sales, Pre-Sales, Operations, Finance and senior stakeholders. Ability to translate complex technology into simple, compelling propositions that sales teams can confidently take to market. A focus on repeatability, margin and retention - not one-off wins. We value candidates with AI literacy - individuals who are curious about technology, comfortable exploring automation, and eager to contribute to a modern, forward-thinking business. BENEFITS Flexible working options 33 days holiday including bank holidays Holiday purchase scheme Enhanced family friendly benefits (maternity, adoption, paternity and IVF) 2 paid days off per year for voluntary work to support our local communities Staff Reward Scheme Pension scheme Life assurance 4 x salary Sponsorship for professional development and memberships Employee Assistance Programme, including access to a virtual GP and financial wellbeing support Mental health first aider support programme Cycle2work scheme Discounted Gym Membership Eye care voucher scheme Free flu vaccinations Employee social events and recognition activities throughout the year HP Employee discount programmes Mobile phone discounts WHY JOIN APOGEE At Apogee, our values - Integrity, Passion, Courtesy & Respect, Inclusivity, Knowledge, People and Flexibility - shape everything we do.

JOB DETAILS Some people scroll past a clunky, manual process you stare at it and think, this could run itself! That is who we are looking for. Apogee built its name in Managed Print. Now we are pushing hard into Managed IT and intelligent automation. We do not need a pure technologist sitting in a corner building features. We need someone commercially sharp. Curious. Slightly restless. Someone who understands platforms such as DocuWare, Acora, Ricoh and Tungsten - and can spot where a smart workflow or automation tool could genuinely change how a client operates. This is about instinct as much as expertise. The role You will own our Process Automation portfolio. You will sit between vendors with ambitious roadmaps and a sales team that knows how to win - and make the two click! If you find a new application, you will pressure-test it properly: Is this solving a real problem or just looking clever? Will clients pay for it? Can we deliver it brilliantly You will not just suggest ideas. You will carry them. What you will actually be doing Vendor matchmaking - You will build proper relationships, not transactional ones. You will challenge vendors. You will ask what is coming next. You will know before others do. Shaping the case - You will take opportunities to the Technical Steering Group with clarity. ROI mapped. Delivery model defined. Risks understood. If it is approved, you will know exactly why. Owning the launch - No dusty product launches. You will work with Sales Enablement and Directors to make sure teams understand the story, the value, and the angle. You will sit with Pre-Sales to shape real solutions. You will stay close until revenue proves the model works. Sector focus - You will adapt solutions for Commercial, Strategic and Public Sector clients - including alignment with NHS transformation priorities where relevant. One size does not fit all. Retention thinking - You will think beyond signature. The goal is to make automation indispensable - so when renewal comes around, removing it would feel like switching off the lights. A typical working pattern is Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:30, with a one-hour lunch break. SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED Experience launching and commercialising digital, automation or IT-enabled services within Managed Services, SaaS, workflow or document environments. Strong commercial judgement - you can build a clear business case, challenge assumptions, and balance opportunity with risk. Technical fluency - you understand how automation solutions integrate into wider IT estates (APIs, cloud, security, delivery models) without needing to build them yourself. Confidence working cross-functionally - Sales, Pre-Sales, Operations, Finance and senior stakeholders. Ability to translate complex technology into simple, compelling propositions that sales teams can confidently take to market. A focus on repeatability, margin and retention - not one-off wins. We value candidates with AI literacy - individuals who are curious about technology, comfortable exploring automation, and eager to contribute to a modern, forward-thinking business. BENEFITS Flexible working options 33 days holiday including bank holidays Holiday purchase scheme Enhanced family friendly benefits (maternity, adoption, paternity and IVF) 2 paid days off per year for voluntary work to support our local communities Staff Reward Scheme Pension scheme Life assurance 4 x salary Sponsorship for professional development and memberships Employee Assistance Programme, including access to a virtual GP and financial wellbeing support Mental health first aider support programme Cycle2work scheme Discounted Gym Membership Eye care voucher scheme Free flu vaccinations Employee social events and recognition activities throughout the year HP Employee discount programmes Mobile phone discounts WHY JOIN APOGEE At Apogee, our values - Integrity, Passion, Courtesy & Respect, Inclusivity, Knowledge, People and Flexibility - shape everything we do.

There are few industries remaining that are ripe for disruption. Those moments need leaders and the energy sector is in that moment. The disruption is happening now. Our Kraken software and operating model enable our energy clients to lead this shift while enhancing their operational effectiveness.
