Key job responsibilities

We are hiring a Business Innovation Advisor to own end-to-end strategic customer engagement: from building the engagement playbook and business case methodology, to leading C-suite advisory sessions, to orchestrating across the #Oneteam of practitioners who execute against it. This is not a traditional sales or solutions architect role. It is a business transformation advisory role that operates at the intersection of functional expertise, executive engagement, and quantified value creation:

• Establish the business innovation point of view: what is the art of the possible, what does good look like, what are the reference architectures, and what consumption patterns should customers expect
• Create and evolve ROI calculators and financial models that translate domain outcomes into CFO-ready business cases with 90-day, 1-year, and 3-year projections
• Personally lead strategic customer engagements per quarter with CxO and SVP-level business stakeholders (CFO, COO, CDO, CCO, CRO)
• Facilitate process decomposition workshops that systematically uncover transformation opportunities from a single engagement
• Build and present metric-driven business cases using customer-specific data, not generic benchmarks — grounded in the customer's P&L, operational KPIs, and competitive context
• Develop and maintain engagement playbook: process decomposition frameworks, discovery workshop methodology, business case templates, and value realization models with industry-specific benchmarks
• Build field-repeatable patterns that enable scale for self-serve engagement
• Drive executive alignment sessions that convert business cases into qualified opportunities with clear ARR pathways and implementation roadmaps
• Partner with Sales Leadership and GTM counterparts to ensure high value engagement integrates into account strategy and field motion
