  • Engage senior customer stakeholders: Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships with executive sponsors and key decision makers.
  • Drive adoption and measurable impact: Define, track, and report on success metrics and KPIs for each engagement.
  • Provide strategic and solution guidance: Translate business requirements into solution designs and implementation plans.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally and with partners: Work effectively with Sales to scope new engagements and manage third-party partners.

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Management, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Fluency in English is mandatory; additional languages are a plus.
