• Demonstrated ability to architect complex services and infrastructure solutions, supported by a working understanding of areas such as disaster recovery, backup, virtual desktop infrastructure, Internet of Things, high-performance computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
• Practical experience in a technology vendor, systems integrator, consultancy, managed services provider, or business-partner environment, including responses to RFIs and RFPs and the development of customer proposals.
• Strong commercial acumen, including the ability to balance customer outcomes, technical feasibility, delivery risk, and financial considerations across opportunities of varying size and complexity.
• Professional fluency in French and English, with the ability to communicate complex topics effectively to technical, commercial, and executive audiences. French is essential for developing the target market, while English is required for Lenovo’s international working environment.
