This is a senior, client-facing growth role for a clear, concise communicator who can connect client needs, modern data and AI platforms, and practical business outcomes. The ideal candidate combines strong go-to-market and pre-sales capability with sufficient technical depth to independently represent Data & AI solutions in executive conversations, RFPs, and early-stage pursuits. They will collaborate across Slalom's Data & AI ecosystem, client services, sales, and delivery teams to shape compelling solutions and bring the right technical and industry expertise to each opportunity.

What You'll Do

• Shape and sell Data & AI solutions: Frame, explain, and position differentiated solutions that connect client priorities, platform capabilities, and measurable business value.

• Lead executive and early-stage client conversations: Engage C-suite buyers and technical leaders with a credible point of view across modern data platforms, analytics, and AI.

• Guide solution crafting: Contribute meaningfully to discovery, workshops, RFPs, solution design, and pursuit strategy without needing to personally deliver every technical component.

• Collaborate across the ecosystem: Triangulate with client services, sales, capability, architecture, and delivery leaders to assemble the right team and bring the strongest solution forward.

• Build platform and partner momentum: Strengthen market capability and relationships around Databricks and Snowflake, with Databricks experience preferred based on current demand.

• Create and convert demand: Identify opportunities, inspire client confidence, and help move Data & AI pursuits from early conversations through solutioning and sale.

• Contribute to GTM capability: Bring market insight, reusable stories and assets, and a strong understanding of how packaged Data & AI solutions are evolving.

What You Bring

• Senior Data & AI go-to-market experience: Demonstrated success framing, presenting, and selling modern Data & AI solutions in a consulting, technology, or partner-led environment.

• Balanced business and technical credibility: Strong communication and storytelling skills paired with enough technical breadth to operate independently as a trusted Data & AI expert.

• Modern data platform expertise: Meaningful experience with Databricks or Snowflake; Databricks experience is preferred. Experience with Microsoft Fabric or comparable platforms is also valuable.

• Solution-crafting experience: Relevant examples of shaping client solutions, contributing to RFPs, and translating technology choices into practical business outcomes.

• Executive presence: Ability to engage C-suite buyers, lead clear and concise conversations, manage a room effectively, and tailor the story for business and technical audiences.

• Collaborative leadership: Comfort working dynamically across sales, client services, technical, and delivery teams rather than operating as the sole owner of every pursuit.

• Partner orientation: Experience with platform partner strategy, partner relationships, or ecosystem development is a strong differentiator.

• Curiosity and market perspective: A current, informed view of the evolving Data & AI landscape and the ability to turn that perspective into relevant client stories and solutions.
