- Confidence engaging C-suite stakeholders and the ability to develop this capability across your team.
- A track record of building consistent, predictable team performance through structured account planning, forecast discipline, and operating rhythm.
- A practical approach to AI — you use automation and AI tools in daily workflows, design effective prompts, prototype solutions, and take responsibility for the quality and accuracy of AI-generated outputs.
- Degree not required for this role.

- Build, coach, and develop Account Executives, creating a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and execution excellence.
- Drive pipeline generation, bookings growth, and forecast accuracy through rigorous opportunity inspection and deal governance.
- Strengthen executive relationships across strategic accounts, engaging at Board and C-suite level to shape long-term transformation agendas.
- Partner across Customer Success, Services, Industry Advisory, Marketing, Business AI, and the Partner Ecosystem to deliver value-led customer outcomes.
- Identify and develop future leaders through structured coaching, mentoring, and succession planning.
