Lead Strategy & Innovation

Lead Strategy & Innovation

Do you enjoy talking with C-level executives as much as dissecting an architecture diagram?
Here is a role where you can do both - without getting lost in 14 committees and 28 useless PowerPoint decks.

What you will work on

In this role, you will:

• Meet C-level executives (CTO, CIO, VP, CEO) to understand the real business issues, not just the IT shopping list.

• Lead co-creation workshops to build a long-term technology vision and a solid, realistic transformation roadmap.

• Define key initiatives, identify where real value is created and align them with the client's strategy.

• Build robust business cases: ROI, risks, benefits - without the fluff.

• Lead responses to complex RFPs/RFIs and structure end-to-end solution proposals.

• Coordinate proofs of concept (PoCs) with internal experts to validate feasibility before promising the moon.

• Advise clients on the technologies involved (AI, BI, software): strengths, limitations, organisational impacts and pitfalls to avoid.

• Act as a strategic partner to the sales team and influence the account strategy.

• Present the vision, roadmap and business cases to executive decision-makers, with clarity and confidence.

👉 In short: you help clients make better decisions, not just buy projects.

How we really work

• You are involved from the first discussions, not parachuted in at the end to "make an architecture slide".

• We want your judgement, not just execution.

• You collaborate closely with sales, AI/BI/software experts and delivery teams.

• You navigate complex political environments, but never alone - we are there.

• When something is blocked (politics, unclear objectives, poorly managed risks), we deal with it for real instead of burying it in Jira.

What you will enjoy

• High-level conversations with leaders facing real issues.

• Seeing a transformation vision you co-built become concrete projects.

• Working on varied topics: AI, BI, modernisation, digital transformation, ecosystem redesign.

• A balance between strategy, technology and client relationships.

• A team that understands long and complex enterprise sales cycles - without needless panic.

• Zero pressure to deliver something sloppy just to close a deal.

You will excel in this role if...

You recognise yourself in several of these points:

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.

• 7 to 10 years of experience in pre-sales or solution architecture with Enterprise clients.

• Experience of complex sales cycles: RFPs/RFIs, PoCs, modernisation, multi-unit or multi-million projects.

• Ability to speak business and technical, with poise and clarity.

• Good reading of political dynamics and adapting your message to different stakeholders.

• A natural talent for explaining complex topics simply.

• Analytical, structured mindset, focused on creating real value.

• Curiosity about technology (AI, BI, modernisation, digital transformation) and the ability to tell hype from impact.
