Requirements

• 12–18+ years in IT services, consulting, or digital engineering organizations
• Demonstrated success owning and growing a portfolio in the $40–60M+ range, with clear evidence of both expanding existing accounts and originating net‑new business
• Background in firms such as Accenture, Cognizant, Slalom, Globant, Publicis Sapient, Thoughtworks, EPAM, or similar engineering‑led organizations
• Proven track record of growing strategic accounts and winning new enterprise clients in a complex, solution‑led sales environment
• Genuine hunter profile — a leader who personally originates and closes new business, not solely a farmer of existing accounts
• Experience leading complex deals and managing executive‑level client relationships
• Strong command of partner‑driven sales models
• Experience selling and delivering the type of work EPAM does — custom software engineering, digital and product engineering, data and AI, and complex digital transformation

• A track record across multiple industries rather than deep concentration in any single vertical
• Preference for experience in manufacturing and distribution, with additional value from measured exposure to public sector, electrical utilities, and technology
• Breadth across the middle‑market and enterprise "white space" is more valuable than depth in any one sector
• Ability to lead and develop a team of client partners while orchestrating matrixed sales and delivery resources
• Executive presence and gravitas appropriate to a VP‑level, client‑facing leadership role
• Self‑directed operator who can step into an established portfolio and lead it from day one
• Must reside in the NYM metro area, with an established local network across the region. This role depends on existing relationships and market presence; it is not open to relocation.
