• Manage pipeline health by overseeing aging leads (P1/P2) and driving recovery actions for stalled opportunities.
• Shape high‑impact pursuits (RFPs/Proposals) by blending technical depth with consultative business value storytelling.

Cross‑Functional Orchestration:

• Sales Enablement: Empower Sales teams with competitive intelligence, localized insights, and standardized, winning collateral.
• Delivery Interlock: Work closely with Delivery Heads to ensure pre‑sales commitments are realistic, scalable, and transition smoothly into implementation.
• Marketing Alignment: Collaborate with the Marketing team to develop "Thought Leadership" and "Solution Narratives" that feed into targeted campaigns (Webinars, Bootcamps, etc.).

• Tech Fluency: Strong familiarity with modern architectural principles (eMACH.ai philosophy, microservices, cloud‑native transformation) and AI/Agentic capabilities.
• Stakeholder Management: Exceptional track record of engaging at the CxO level, both internally across matrixed organizations and externally with global financial institutions.
• Global Capability: Experience and expertise to work across India, APAC, and Advanced markets
