Role
We are seeking a polished, strategic, and highly credible Senior Director of AI Solutions to serve as the senior pre-sales leader for our AI practice. This role is ideal for someone who excels in client-facing technical advisory, executive communication, and solution shaping, but who is not a quota-carrying seller or outbound hunter.
The Senior Director of AI Solutions will partner closely with our sales team to help articulate our AI capabilities, translate business problems into AI-enabled solutions, and guide enterprise customers through the early phases of their AI transformation journey. The ideal candidate combines strong technical fluency with exceptional storytelling, presence, and consultative problem-solving skills.
This individual must be comfortable navigating complex enterprise environments, engaging with C-suite leaders, and collaborating with engineers, data scientists, and delivery teams to craft compelling, high-value AI solutions.
