• Lead pitch preparation and client engagements, including executive presentations and technical discussions.
• Develop and refine high‑impact pitch materials, playbooks, case studies, value propositions, and enablement resources.
• Stay current on emerging technologies, market trends, and competitor offerings to identify opportunities for differentiation.
• Use pitch outcomes and client feedback to continuously improve messaging, solution development, and pursuit execution.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science, business, marketing, engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in growth, business development, or solution development within data, technology, platforms, marketing technology, or advertising technology.
• Experience supporting complex client pursuits in an agency or consulting environment, including RFI and RFP development, pitch strategy, and client presentations.
• Strong working knowledge of data platforms, identity solutions, analytics, AI and machine learning, marketing technology, first‑party data strategies, data integration, and identity resolution.
• Exceptional storytelling, presentation, and written communication skills, with the ability to make complex information accessible and compelling.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to deliver high‑quality work across multiple priorities and tight deadlines.
• Demonstrated ability to influence and collaborate across executive leadership, technical teams, product organizations, and client‑facing teams.
• Comfort operating in fast‑paced, evolving, and ambiguous environments.
