• Own requirements-to-scope translation — converting business pain into structured, buildable use cases
• Define success criteria and evaluation methodology for the proposed solution before build starts
• Draft the technical narrative of the proposal/SOW — architecture summary, risk framing, delivery approach
• Assess technical compliance requirements (data residency, security, regulatory) during scoping
• Partner with the Field CTO/Solution Architect to validate that scope is technically buildable within budget and timeline
• Manage the day-to-day client relationship during the pursuit so technical staff stay focused on the build
• Facilitate stakeholder workshops across client business and technical functions
• Maintain the qualification and pursuit tracker for the Head of Presales & Solutioning
• Own change-management framing for the proposed solution — how the client's org will need to adapt
• Lead or co-lead client oral presentations, translating technical scope into a business case executives approve

Requirements

• 15–20 yrs in technology/solutions consulting with genuine, deep exposure to AI/ML or data projects
• Enough technical grounding to hold a credible architecture conversation — not just relay requirements
• Skilled in structured discovery methodologies (design thinking, use-case prioritization, jobs-to-be-done)
• Working understanding of technical compliance/regulatory frameworks relevant to AI (data residency, EU AI Act, sector rules)
• Familiar with major cloud AI platforms — Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI — for scoping conversations; open-source awareness a good-to-have
• Understands delivery methodology well enough to scope a realistic PoC-to-production path
• Demonstrated ability to write clearly for executive audiences
• Comfortable running structured workshops under time pressure with senior client stakeholders
• Strong facilitation and active-listening skills — surfaces the real problem, not just the stated one
• Executive-ready presentation skills for client oral defense sessionsDiplomatic under pressure — manages scope-creep conversations without damaging the relationship

Success metrics

• proposal/SOW cycle time and quality (fewer redlines)
• client satisfaction during the pursuit phase, independent of win/loss
• scope accuracy at handover to delivery
