What You'll Do
- Own the Business, Not Just the Relationship
- Run a multi-account plan with full ownership of growth, retention, and strategic direction targeting double-digit annual revenue growth across your book.
- Own the relationship with key client stakeholders at every level, from engineering leads to C-level executives — building and managing genuine executive relationships over time, not just transactional access.
- As the client's advocate, ensure delivery teams are aligned with what the client needs, not just what's scoped.
- Conduct regular business reviews to stay ahead of evolving client needs, project health, and strategic direction.
Grow the Portfolio
- Identify and pursue expansion opportunities within existing accounts — upselling, cross-selling, and introducing new services and offerings.
- Actively position, propose, and sell AI-native and agentic service offerings as a core part of your growth motion — this is revenue you own, not just a point of view you share.
- Identify and pursue new logo opportunities, leveraging your domain expertise and network.
- Build and execute account and territory plans that map client objectives to capabilities with real agency — you decide how to win the account, not just execute a playbook.
- Prepare and present proposals, SOWs, and other engagement documentation.
- Partner with the broader sales organization on account growth strategy but operate independently as the primary driver of your book.
Bring Real Expertise
- Bring a genuine point of view — grounded in BFSI or healthcare domain depth, or deep technical expertise — on how technology, AI, automation, and agentic services can help clients solve problems, accelerate delivery, or unlock new product/business opportunities.
- Understand client business objectives deeply enough to proactively recommend solutions, not just respond to requests.
- Work with solution architects and delivery managers to shape technical proposals that solve real business problems.
- Stay current on industry trends, competitive dynamics, and emerging technologies — particularly the evolving AI and agentic landscape and its practical applications in software development and consulting.
- Feed market insights and client feedback back to internal teams to improve our offerings.
Delivery Partnership
- Maintain visibility into all active projects across your accounts by staying in close partnership with your delivery counterpart.
- Collaborate with delivery managers and technical leads to ensure projects land well and clients stay satisfied, spotting risks early and addressing them before they become retention issues.
Forecasting & Account Intelligence
- Own accurate, account-level revenue and pipeline forecasting for every account in your book.
- Build and maintain relationship maps across your accounts — know who the decision-makers and influencers are, and where you have (and don't have) real coverage.
- Track and report on account health: revenue, pipeline, project status, and client satisfaction.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years in technology consulting (or related), with at least 5 years carrying direct revenue-generating responsibility for a book of business.
- High agency and hustle, a self-starter with a real motor, comfortable building pipeline and closing without a lot of structure around you.
- Track record from a technology consultancy or services firm of a similar scale and culture, we're looking for people who've operated in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial services environment.
- Domain expertise in BFSI or healthcare, or deep technical expertise (architecture, platform, or engineering background); direct exposure to agentic services or AI-native delivery is a strong plus.
- A track record of driving double-digit growth across both existing accounts and new logos.
- Strong, established C-level relationships and a demonstrated ability to build and manage executive relationships over time.
- A strong understanding of software development lifecycles (SDLC) and delivery methodologies, including nearshore and/or offshore delivery models.
- Hands-on comfort with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar) in your daily work — you use them, not just talk about them.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills — equally comfortable in a room with engineers and with executives.
- Proficiency with Salesforce.
