What are the responsibilities and job description for the Technology Strategy Lead position at Atos?
About The Role
As the NA/EMEA Data & AI Strategist, you will own portfolio management and sales enablement for the Data & AI practice across two of Atos' most strategic regions. This is a global-facing, practice-shaping role rather than carrying an individual sales quota against a single territory, you will define how the Data & AI portfolio is positioned, packaged, and sold — equipping hundreds of sellers, solution architects, and client partners across North America and EMEA with the tools, narratives, and enablement assets needed to win. You will sit at the intersection of offering strategy, competitive intelligence, and field enablement — translating practice investment decisions (in agentic AI, Private AI infrastructure, data platforms, and responsible AI governance) into sales-ready plays, pricing guardrails, and win-themes that resonate from the boardroom to the bid room. This role reports directly to the Global Head of Data Platforms and works in close partnership with NA and EMEA practice leaders, alliance teams, and the Specialty Sales organization.
