• Ability to talk architecture with a skeptical engineering lead and ROI with a client’s CEO.

Nice To Haves

• A track record of pitching and winning enterprise engagements inside a consultancy
• A public technical presence: talks given, things written, communities helped lead
• Experience shaping the service offerings or the technical point of view a firm takes to market
• Relationships with cloud or AI platform partners, and the standing that comes with them
• A working grasp of where AI and agentic tooling is heading, enough to judge where the real opportunities are
• Experience mentoring senior technical talent and raising the bar around them

Responsibilities

• Join deal teams to help win new engagements. In a pitch that can mean proposing an architecture, shaping scope, sequencing the work into sensible stages, or recommending how to staff it.
• On our most important accounts, you’ll stay a technical presence the client trusts well after the work begins.
• Represent us and build relationships in the market. Give talks, write, and show up in person at events.
• Shape and sharpen what we sell. Turn what you’re seeing in the market into clearer, more current offerings, and keep our position honest: agentic products, deep platform expertise.
• Work with our Growth team to help identify and build relationships with platform and AI partners that put us in front of the right work and keep our teams current.
• Drive our go-to-market direction rather than wait for it. Bring a point of view and help us continuously iterate on where we should show up, what we should say, and which opportunities are worth chasing.
• Act as a standard other technologists measure themselves against.
• Mentor those working on their business leadership and impact.
• Weigh in from time to time on technical job standards and career pathing.
