About the ideal candidate:

• Strategic technology consultant with 10+ years of experience bridging business strategy and technical implementation across consulting, technical sales or sales engineering, and solution architecture.
• Solid technical foundation (engineering, computer science or equivalent hands-on experience in software development, testing or technical sales).
• Fluent in English and Portuguese; Spanish is highly valued given our customers across North, Central and South America.
• Proven track record leading C-level engagements and complex, multi-stakeholder transformation or scoping projects.
• Consultative selling: pre-sales or IT sales experience (RFP/RFI, scoping, solution design, commercial discussions), with the ability to diagnose customer needs and turn them into scalable solutions with measurable results.

• AI expertise: hands-on knowledge of AI and generative AI (including agents and AI-enabled workflows), with the ability to identify practical use cases and explain their value, limits and governance to executive audiences.
• Connect AI to measurable business outcomes: link every use case to clear KPIs, ROI and customer results.
• Navigate organizational change: guide customers through the people, process and operating-model shifts that AI and new distribution models require.
• Balance innovation with governance and risk: push the boundaries of what is possible while respecting security, compliance and responsible-AI principles.
• Communicate value clearly to non-technical stakeholders: translate complex technology into simple, compelling business messages.
• Strong business acumen, including product management and competitive positioning.
• Excellent stakeholder management: build relationships, influence senior decision makers and lead cross-functional, global teams.
• Passion for innovation and problem solving, with an appetite for coaching others.
