- Serve as executive escalation point across all technical and functional streams; manage senior stakeholders (CHRO, CIO, VP HR) through design decisions and change requests.
- Lead pre-sales engagements: solution demonstrations, RFP/RFI responses, effort and cost estimation, commercial scoping, and proposal development for large enterprise pursuits.
- Drive practice capability: establish architecture standards, reusable solution patterns, and accelerators; mentor senior consultants and managers across SF module specialisations.
