About The Position

We are seeking a highly strategic, communication-driven Pursuit Strategy Lead / Strategic Deal Maker to lead the pursuit, shaping, orchestration, and closure of large, complex transformation deals. This role blends enterprise sales strategy, consulting-led pursuit leadership, executive communication, and multi-disciplinary deal orchestration. Unlike traditional bid management roles focused primarily on process and coordination, this position is designed for a high-impact strategic communicator capable of shaping client perception, aligning internal stakeholders, and building differentiated pursuit narratives that win. The ideal candidate understands that large deals are not won solely through pricing, delivery capability, or compliance. They are won through strategic positioning, executive influence, message clarity, audience-centric communication, commercial creativity, pursuit orchestration, differentiated perspectives, persuasive storytelling, cross-functional leadership, and proof-driven value articulation. This role requires a leader who can transform fragmented organizational knowledge into compelling executive-level messages that shape buying decisions and accelerate client confidence.
