Your role and responsibilities
We are hiring an Executive Advisor to help shape and scale our presence in the American
market.
This is a senior individual operator role with real weight on both sides of the mandate:
carrying strategic customer work in priority accounts while also establishing and scaling the Executive Advisory motion across AMER, building regional demand, repeatable field plays, and visible impact in strategic accounts.
At its core, Executive Advisory exists to help customers turn executive ambition into
something they can actually operationalize: clearer operating models, sharper roadmaps,
stronger governance, and measurable business value from data streaming and adjacent
transformation work.
This is not a pure strategy role and it is not a passive advisory role. We are looking for
someone who can work credibly with CIO, CTO, CDO, and equivalent leaders, but who is
equally comfortable creating traction, connecting the right people, pushing work forward
through ambiguity, and helping teams convert ideas into action.
The right person will be versatile, commercially credible, action-oriented, and influential
without relying on formal authority. They will know how to move between executive
conversations, account realities, internal alignment, and repeatable field plays without losing momentum.
Success in the first year will not be measured only by the quality of customer advisory work. It will also be visible in stronger internal pull, clearer positioning for the function, more repeatable plays, and a growing sense that Executive Advisory is an essential lever in strategic account outcomes across AMER.
What you'll do
• Lead executive advisory engagements in strategic AMER accounts, working with
senior customer stakeholders to shape vision, operating model, governance, roadmap,and adoption path for large-scale data streaming transformation.
• Help customers move from ambition to execution by translating broad transformation goals into practical next steps, decision frameworks, and measurable outcomes rather than stopping at high-level strategy.
• Translate advisory work into measurable customer and account outcomes, linking
strategic recommendations to adoption, value realization, executive sponsorship, and account growth.
• Partner closely with sales, customer success, solutions engineering, professional
services, and partners to increase the impact of strategic accounts and make
• Executive Advisory a sought-after capability in the region.
• Create momentum for the AMER model by codifying what works into reusable plays,
frameworks, and field-ready narratives that make the function easier to understand,
position, and pull into the right opportunities.
• Operate effectively in ambiguous situations, often where the brief is incomplete,
stakeholders are not aligned, and the path forward is not obvious, then bring
structure, energy, and forward motion.
• Build trusted relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders, connecting
• people across functions and creating alignment where no direct reporting line exists.
• Contribute to the broader evolution of the function by helping sharpen positioning,
improve how advisory work is attached to strategic account motions, and raise the
visibility of the team through quality, consistency, and thought leadership.
• Support executive business cases, ROI/TCO framing, and commercial storytelling
when that helps move a strategic opportunity forward.
Required education
High School Diploma/GED
Preferred education
Bachelor's Degree
Required technical and professional expertise
Significant experience in executive advisory, senior technology consulting, enterprise
transformation, or a closely related role, with a track record of operating credibly with
CIO, CTO, CDO, or equivalent customer stakeholders.
A strong bias for action. You do not wait for perfect structure, perfect ownership, or
perfect information before moving important work forward
The ability to influence without authority, align cross-functional stakeholders, and
create momentum across complex internal and customer environments.
Commercial credibility and good judgment. You understand how strategic advisory
work connects to account priorities, growth, renewals, value realization, and executive
sponsorship.
Comfort working across ambiguity, switching gears between strategy, facilitation,
account reality, internal building, and practical execution as needed.
Strong communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to simplify complex ideas,
run senior conversations well, and land messages with both executives and delivery
teams.
A natural inclination to connect people, create follow-through, and make the whole
system work better, not just deliver your own workstream.
Evidence of creating reusable intellectual property, playbooks, frameworks, or
methods that improve consistency and scale beyond a single engagement.
Familiarity with business-case shaping, ROI/TCO framing, and commercial storytelling
is helpful.
