- A compelling storyteller and communicator, with executive presence proven through Board work, public speaking, analyst engagement, media, or published thought leadership.
Nice to have
- Commercial experience on either side of the table.
- Strongly preferred: executive-level experience at an enterprise software vendor selling into the Fortune 500 (iPaaS, AI/ML, cloud platforms, data, ERP, or adjacent infrastructure).
- Either way, you understand how executive buying decisions are made.
Compensation
- Compensation commensurate with C-suite executive talent - competitive base, performance incentives, and meaningful equity.
Benefits
- Compensation commensurate with C-suite executive talent - competitive base, performance incentives, and meaningful equity.
Company info
- You are an executive who has sat in their chair: you have owned enterprise technology budgets of $50M+, presented to Boards, and made the platform, vendor, and transformation investment decisions our customers' CIOs face today.
- Advise customers on enterprise AI adoption, intelligent automation, modern integration architecture, governance models, and organizational readiness.
- Naturally curious and commercially minded, energized by helping customers solve complex strategic challenges, with the judgment and executive maturity the world's largest enterprises expect.
Visa & Work Authorization
- Strengthen executive sponsorship, expand the strategic scope of opportunities, and unlock seven- and eight-figure platform investments.
