About Data Society Group
At Data Society Group, we empower workforces to achieve breakthrough results at the intersection of people, process, data, and AI. Serving Fortune 1,000 enterprises and federal, state, and local governments, our ecosystem spans two primary divisions:

 

• AI Advisory & Consulting : Integrating the expertise of Data Society and The Data Lodge alongside targeted AI advisory offerings focused on people, process, and technology.
• Events, Community, & Insights : Serving as a global platform for industry thinkers, powered by CDO Magazine, Inspired Minds, and World Summit AI.

If you are eager to empower workforces and shape the future of Data & AI, we’d love to talk with you!

Role Overview
We are seeking an ambitious, client-facing EVP & Head of Growth to lead our Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy, drive top-of-funnel client acquisition, and champion Data Society Group’s continued evolution into a leading Data & AI advisory partner.

In this role, you will report to the CEO and will be an integral member of the executive team. The EVP & Head of Growth will be responsible for overseeing our Sales & Marketing teams and positioning our company as a trusted strategic advisor to C-suite executives who are navigating complex data and AI transformations. While your primary charter is business development and firm growth, you will bring deep domain gravitas to shape high-impact engagements before seamlessly transitioning delivery execution to our Solutions & Workforce Transformation delivery teams.

This is a remote / work from home position that can be based anywhere within the United States with frequent travel to current and prospective client locations plus events and conferences.
