• Understand FSI industry and regulatory requirements and translate them into differentiated sales plays and customer value propositions
• Build and develop an internal and external recruiting pipeline, supporting capability growth and long-term succession planning

• Collaborate with peer SC leaders to continuously improve the operating model for presales and formalise repeatable processes and innovation
• Champion a positive, inclusive and high-achievement culture where feedback, curiosity and accountability drive performance
• Manage day-to-day operational responsibilities (resource planning, forecasting, reporting, expenses, enablement priorities)
• Build and nurture a Financial Services community across APAC

Qualifications
What you bring to the role:

• Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI's potential impact on the function or industry.
• 5+ years of experience in leading high-performing presales or technical consulting teams in complex enterprise environments
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to influence pipeline strategy, forecasting, and customer outcomes
• Ability to communicate compelling business and technical value from C-suite to solution delivery teams
