If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

The Engagement Senior Manager/Director, AI Practice plays a critical role in setting customers up for success by prescriptively crafting and owning the execution of large and ground-breaking projects with our most strategic customers. This person serves as a trusted advisor to Salesforce customers, providing direction to Sales & Professional Services teams, ensuring alliances across each customer’s projects, and ensuring the highest levels of happiness from our customers.

Responsibilities:

  • Align closely with Account and Services Sales teams to own pre-sales activities such as scoping, solutioning, SOW development and project staffing.
  • Lead the development of client-specific implementation proposals, SOWs, staffing plans, engaging with SMEs across the organization to gain consensus on an acceptable proposal for AI, Automation & Data Strategy.
  • Provide the Professional Services team with Subject Matter Expertise related to the proposed solution and client needs in order to ensure successful project delivery for AI, Automation & Data Strategy.
