Success Profile
The ideal candidate is a commercially driven, client-obsessed leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution. You are equally at home leading a discovery session with a client's technology leadership team and presenting a multi-year transformation vision to a CIO or senior business leader. You understand that winning in complex pursuits requires more than technical depth - it requires empathy, influence, and the ability to make clients feel understood before they feel sold to. You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving pursuit environments and take personal pride in the quality of every solution and conversation you bring to a client.
• Executive Presence: Confident engaging and influencing senior stakeholders with authority and authenticity.
• Strategic Thinking: Shapes complex opportunities into clear, actionable strategies that drive results.
• Storytelling Excellence: Simplifies complexity into compelling narratives that resonate with technical and business audiences alike.

• Operational Discipline: Drives structure, pace, and execution across pursuits without compromising quality.
• Collaborative Leadership: Operates seamlessly across sales, presales, delivery, and partner ecosystems.
• Growth Mindset: Continuously elevates self, team, and organizational capability.
• Complex Selling: Fluent in enterprise sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDICC, Challenger, Value Selling) and applies them naturally to shape and advance pursuits.
What We Offer
• Competitive base salary and performance-based incentive plan.
• Opportunity to shape high-visibility, high-value strategic pursuits and lead enterprise-scale transformation programs.
• Access to a best-in-class partner ecosystem including co-sell programs and joint go-to-market resources.
• Dedicated professional development budget covering certifications, industry conferences, and advanced training.
• Flexible work model across multiple locations (Columbus, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Phoenix) with travel as required for key client engagements.
• Collaborative team culture that shares assets, wins, and knowledge across a growing community of solution professionals.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
