What is the Enterprise AI Strategy & GTM Execution team?
WWT’s Enterprise AI Strategy & GTM Execution team is at the center of WWT’s AI transformation, responsible for leading the company’s go-to-market motion across the full AI solution stack — from infrastructure and platforms to consulting, advisory, and managed services. As part of this team, the AI Solutions Director plays a critical leadership role, owning the performance of an AI POD team and serving as the primary bridge between WWT’s enterprise AI capabilities and the customers who need them most. This is a rare opportunity to lead a purpose-built AI sales organization at one of the world’s leading technology solutions providers, with the backing of WWT’s Advanced Technology Center, world-class OEM partnerships, and a culture built on collaboration, accountability, and innovation.
What will you be doing?
The AI Solutions Director is WWT’s frontline AI leadership role, responsible for guiding and managing 2-3 AI POD teams within an assigned business unit. Reporting directly to the SVP of Enterprise AI Strategy & GTM Execution, this is a player-coach position that balances team leadership with direct personal engagement in the most complex, high-value customer pursuits. Each AI POD is composed of three dedicated roles — an AI Solutions Executive, an AI Solutions Architect, and an AI Services Consultant — working in concert to generate pipeline, win opportunities, and drive AI adoption across WWT’s enterprise account base. The AI Solutions Director owns overall POD performance including pipeline health, forecast accuracy, margin attainment, and revenue growth across all assigned PODs.
