Act as executive advisor and sponsor on top-account engagements; steer C suite decisions that shift CapEx, defend price, and win bids. Architect and scale a portfolio of productized insights (e.g., modernization ROI, competitive benchmarks, country deep-dives) with measurable adoption and reuse across CUs. Lead complex, cross-functional programs that connect technology choices to business outcomes; align S&T, Business Areas, and MACS. Own the enterprise storyline for high-stakes opportunities and investment cases; raise the bar on synthesis and executive communication. Build, coach, and performance-manage diverse teams; create an apprenticeship culture that grows talent into next-generation leaders. Institutionalize AI-enabled delivery (tools, prompts, workflows, guardrails) that compress cycle times while improving quality and defensibility. Track and report commercial impact (NS/OB, win rates, price realization, TAM expansion) and secure resources through Product Council governance. The skills you bring: 5+ years at a top-tier consulting firm plus 3+ years in industry (telecom, cloud, edge, or networking) or equivalent blend; demonstrable business impact. Executive presence and credibility with CxO/board-level stakeholders; strong negotiation and decision facilitation skills. Strategic finance and market analysis depth (e.g., investment cases, make/buy/partner, competitive conduct); rigorous, data-driven judgment. Telecom ecosystem fluency or adjacent infrastructure expertise, with the curiosity to go deep on emerging differentiation (5G+Fiber, edge AI/ISAC). Track record building reusable insight products and methods that scale beyond one-off projects. AI fluency: practical experience implementing genAI/analytics to improve insight generation, quality, and speed at team/portfolio scale. Proven leadership of cross-functional teams; talent builder with a strong coaching record; culture carrier for excellence and inclusion.
