3. Go-to-Market & Leadership

• Collaborate with Capital Markets leadership to execute the U.S. go-to-market strategy, with AI-led growth in Private Equity as the primary priority.
• Develop strategic account plans to expand PE relationships across both fund and portfolio-company opportunities.
• Identify emerging AI, data, workflow, and research opportunities and translate them into client propositions.
• Coordinate with AI, domain, research, and delivery teams to design scalable solutions.
• Lead proposal development, solutioning, and commercial structuring.

• Strong executive presence and the ability to engage C-level executives, Partners, Managing Directors, Operating Partners, and portfolio-company leadership.
• Ability to understand client business problems and work with AI, domain, research, and technical teams to shape solutions.
• Demonstrated experience negotiating commercial and legal terms with a high ownership mindset in a fast-growth environment.
