You will be the connective tissue between the TWF business units, Geo Solution Consulting leaders, and Specialist Solution Consulting leaders across the globe.

Own the global TWF tech win playbook including repeatable first- and second-call demos and a consistent framework for customer POVs and enable Field SCs.
Partner with and support the Global Head CIO Solutions GTM and their broader IT GTM strategy. Lead key customer engagements at EBCs and key customer and partner events (SKO, Knowledge, WFs, AI Summits etc.)
Translate TWF roadmaps, monthly releases, and AI Native packaging into field-ready technical positioning, competitive differentiation, and objection handling ahead of launch. Provide customer and field SC feedback back to the BU.
Serve as the global technical voice for TWF with CIOs, CTOs, architects, customers, partners, and the SC community, shaping thought leadership around Autonomous IT and the future of technology workflows.

Drive global consistency in how SCs run technical evaluations across AMS, EMEA, APAC, and Japan, while incorporating regional, industry, and language needs. Work with Geo SC leaders to roll out programs and measure adoption in each region.
Build a continuous improvement engine around the tech win. Use win/loss, deal review, and POC data to refine assets, methods, and training, and feed product gaps back to the BUs.
Define and track global tech win metrics, such as tech win rate, time to tech win, POC conversion, and SC readiness.
Engage directly in strategic TWF deals as a senior technical advisor, including executive briefings, architecture sessions, and POC strategy. Use what you learn in those deals to sharpen the playbook.
Build a world-class TWF SC community across Geo and Specialist teams through certification paths, practice and coaching programs, and shared best practices from top-performing SCs.
