• Ensure strategy is translated into measurable business outcomes by driving deployment, adoption, value realisation and long‑term account growth.
• Maintain commercial excellence through accurate forecasting, pipeline management, opportunity planning and disciplined execution.
• Champion continuous innovation by maintaining deep expertise across partner technologies, emerging AI capabilities and industry trends, and by sharing best practice across account and specialist teams.

Key skills and experience required:

• Broad and current cross‑domain knowledge across modern technology areas such as Cloud, AI, Data, Security and Modern Work, with the ability to align technology strategies to business priorities and transformation objectives.
• Proven experience in technology advisory, solution sales or specialist overlay roles, with a strong track record of influencing strategic decisions and delivering commercial growth.
• Strong business and industry acumen, with the ability to understand client operating models, industry challenges and market trends, and translate these into technology‑led business outcomes.
• Experience shaping long‑term technology roadmaps, transformation programmes and account growth strategies.
• Credible executive stakeholder engagement capability, with experience building trusted relationships and influencing senior leaders, including CIO, CTO, CDO and CISO audiences.
• Strong commercial and financial awareness, able to connect technology investments to business value, consumption growth, revenue generation and return on investment.
• Demonstrable opportunity and pursuit leadership experience, including developing business cases, value propositions, and commercial strategies for complex deals.
• Proven ability to coordinate virtual teams across sales, architecture, delivery, customer success and partner organisations to achieve shared objectives.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, able to adapt messages for different audiences and create impactful, engaging narratives.
