Services Sales Solutions Leads are
Services Sales Solutions Leads are critical to setting customers up for success by prescriptively shaping engagements of all sizes, including large, transformational programs. Partnering with an Account Partner, you will lead the pre-sales discovery process, defining customer outcomes and translating them into a viable high-level solution design.
