• Cloud & Data Platforms: Advanced proficiency with Databricks, Snowflake, and at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• AI Portfolio: Proven experience deploying Enterprise AI and Generative AI solutions. Must understand the data needs, security guardrails, and architectural patterns of Agentic AI (autonomous agents, multi-agent frameworks).
• BI & Analytics: Solid grasp of business intelligence, data democratization, and insights consumption strategy.

Core Competencies

• Business Outcome Focused: Ability to tie every technical decision directly to revenue growth, cost reduction, or risk mitigation for the client.
• Constant Learner: A passion for staying at the absolute bleeding edge of technology (e.g., evolving LLM architectures, vector databases, agentic workflows).
• Collaborative Team Player: A low-ego, high-collaboration leader who can seamlessly partner with account teams, delivery units, and practice peers.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to shape the AI strategies of Fortune 500 enterprises.
• A highly competitive compensation package featuring strong performance-based incentives for deal closure.
