About the role
- Own and lead a multi-disciplinary team spanning three functions: traditional services sales execution (estimates, scoping, and statements of work for on-contract growth and net-new pursuits), delivery validation (ensuring every deal closes with a credible, practitioner-backed delivery model), and new technology enablement (building the repeatable motion that takes an emerging technology from pilot to full production activation).
- We are looking for a Senior Director to lead our Service Sales & Activation function.
Responsibilities
- Partner directly with sales, capture, and account leadership on complex, large-scale pursuits - personally engaging on scoping, staffing strategy, and technical solutioning for the most strategic deals.
- Build and mature a standing enablement model for new technology waves: readiness assessment, use-case discovery, commercial/contractual preparation, pilot-to-production activation, and post-launch adoption and expansion - generalizing lessons learned from early technology (e.g., AI) to the next wave.
- Develop, coach, and build bench strength across the team, creating clear succession paths.
- This leader will combine rigorous services sales execution with forward-looking technology adoption to drive consistent, scalable growth.
- Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work.
- Hands-on capture and estimation credibility, having served as a solution architect or capture lead on large, complex deals - personally authoring scoping, staffing approach, and technical solutioning, rather than only overseeing others who do.
- A demonstrated people-development track record, with evidence of growing and promoting talent and building organizational bench strength.
Requirements
- Proven P&L and book-of-business ownership at scale, with a track record of exceeding growth targets and managing C-suite / VP-level client relationships.
- A multi-platform systems integration background (SaaS/cloud delivery experience across one or more major enterprise platforms), with the openness and aptitude to ramp up on our platform quickly
- We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role).
