About the Role:
We are seeking a consultative, outcome-focused Sales Lead to drive revenue growth across India-based Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and APAC Regional Commercial & Medical Affiliates.
In this role, you will lead high-value business development for Improzo’s AI, Data & Analytics offerings anchored by the iZO platform. Rather than selling low-margin IT staff augmentation or traditional application maintenance, your focus will be positioning transformative AI applications, commercial data platforms, advanced analytics, and product-enabled implementations.

Key Responsibilities:
1. AI & Analytics-Led Business Development
- Strategic Value Selling: Position high-margin AI, ML, and Data Engineering solutions over traditional pure-play IT services. Drive conversations centered on business outcomes, data monetization, and intelligent automation rather than billable headcount.
- Dual-Pivot Target Execution:
- India GCCs: Engage leadership in global capability centers (Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, NCR) to position Improzo as an AI co-innovation partner for core enterprise data & analytics initiatives.
- APAC Regional Affiliates: Engage regional commercial and medical directors across APAC (Singapore, Japan, Australia, SEA) to deliver agile, localized AI analytics and decision-support tools.

- Commercial AI & Data: Next-Best-Action (NBA) engines, omnichannel marketing attribution, HCP analytics, field force optimization.
- Medical Affairs AI & Data: AI-driven KOL identification/mapping, MSL interaction analytics, scientific insight mining, and literature extraction.
Product-Enabled Scaling: Land iZO as the core platform engine and expand with high-value data architecture, ML engineering, and analytical services.
Pipeline & Enterprise Deal Management: Build and manage a strong target pipeline in AI, analytics, and platform contracts.
2. Cloud Ecosystem & Partner Incentives (Azure & AWS)
Customer Engagement Incentives (CEI): Position AWS APN Customer Engagement (ACE) funding and Azure Customer Engagement / Partner Incentives (e.g., ECIF, AMMP, AWS Partner Opportunity Acceleration) to subsidize client AI pilots, data foundation builds, and iZO platform integrations.
- Co-Sell Execution: Partner closely with AWS and Azure Partner Development Managers (PDMs) and Data/AI field sellers across APAC to drive joint pipeline generation, account mapping, and deal closure.
- Cloud Commitments & Marketplace: Leverage hyperscaler marketplace private offers (AWS Marketplace / Azure IP Co-Sell & MACC commitments) so clients can consume existing cloud budgets to fund Improzo’s AI and data solutions.
3. Executive Advisory & Solution Alignment
C-Suite Advisory: Build executive relationships with Chief Data & Analytics Officers (CDAOs),
VPs of Commercial Analytics, Heads of AI/Digital Transformation, Chief Medical Officers (CMOs), and GCC Innovation Heads.
