• Delivery Governance: Provide high-level oversight of project health, ensuring that technical execution aligns perfectly with the client’s overarching business goals.
• Solutioning & Value Engineering: Participate in technical and architectural discussions to ensure the proposed tech stack and roadmap provide the best ROI for the client.
• Commercial Ownership: Lead contract renewals, scope negotiations, and resource planning to ensure account profitability and sustainability.
• Conflict Resolution & Advocacy: Navigate complex technical and business roadblocks, acting as an advocate for both the client’s success and our internal delivery teams.
• Market Insight: Stay ahead of industry trends to proactively advise clients on how emerging technologies can optimize their operations.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 8+ years in IT Services, Consulting, or Digital Transformation environments.
• Hybrid Background: A strong foundation in software engineering/development combined with a proven track record in account management or business development.
• Commercial Acumen: Demonstrated ability to grow account revenue (farming) and manage P&L/budgets for large-scale engagements.
• Stakeholder Management: Experience influencing C-suite or VP-level stakeholders in complex, enterprise-level environments.

• High Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Expert at navigating corporate politics and building rapport with diverse teams.
• Commanding Presence: Excellent presentation skills with the ability to translate complex technical jargon into "business-speak."
• Strategic Prioritization: Ability to balance the urgency of daily delivery issues with the long-term goal of account health and expansion.

What We’re Looking For

• A Growth Catalyst: Someone who views a "finished project" as an opening for the next big opportunity.
• A Technical Diplomat: Someone who can talk shop with developers and ROI with CFOs in the same hour.
• A Partner, Not a Vendor: A professional dedicated to the client's long-term success, not just ticking off JIRA tickets.
