Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a GCC business builder and strategic dealmaker, not simply a traditional sales executive.

They understand how large enterprises evaluate locations, operating models, talent pools, technology capabilities, governance structures, cost economics, and long-term strategic value when establishing or transforming Global Capability Centers.

They are equally comfortable discussing strategy with a CIO or COO, developing a transformation business case with consulting teams, negotiating a multi-million-dollar commercial agreement, and building a long-term executive relationship that develops into a strategic enterprise account.

This individual will play a critical role in establishing and scaling the organization’s GCC advisory and transformation practice into a significant growth business.
