Job description

The role independently leads selected customer engagements, working with senior IT stakeholders to understand business needs, influence technology decisions and develop practical technology roadmaps and transformation opportunities.

The role applies broad knowledge across relevant technology domains, coordinates the right internal and partner expertise for defined engagements and escalates complex or enterprise-wide strategic matters to Senior Account Technology Specialists or appropriate leaders.

Insight’s Success Criteria

Strong performance is demonstrated by independently converting customer technology conversations into qualified opportunities, credible engagement direction and clear business value. Success is reflected in trusted relationships with senior IT stakeholders, effective coordination of virtual teams and disciplined progression of selected opportunities, while complex portfolio-wide or C-suite transformation strategy remains with the Senior Account Technology Specialist.

• Analyse customer objectives, technology landscape, challenges and dependencies to identify relevant advisory and transformation opportunities.
• Build and maintain the technical account plan, including priorities, stakeholder context, opportunity pathways and agreed next steps.

• Coordinate Solution Architects and specialists to validate technical direction and align solution options with customer requirements.
• Align Account Executives, architects, delivery, customer success and partner teams on ownership, actions and next steps.
