  • Establish repeatable approaches to solution architecture, including components, use cases, and commercial models
  • Enable adoption by client-facing teams through clear articulation, sales plays, and practical application in pursuits
  • Ensure consistency in how solutions are represented and activated across teams, channels, and geographies
  • Use market feedback, performance insights, and industry trends to continuously refine solution strategy and positioning
  • Lead strategic initiatives such as new offering development, industry plays, and integrated “one-firm” solutions
  • Other duties as assigned

Technical skills and qualifications:

  • Strong commercial acumen, with experience shaping offerings that are scalable, differentiated, and market relevant.
  • Proven track record of aligning senior stakeholders across functions and service lines to drive cohesive outcomes.
