The impact you will have:

Are you ready to be at the forefront of the AI revolution, shaping the future of how organizations harness cutting-edge technology to drive real, measurable results?

At Softchoice, your influence will reach far beyond pilots and proofs of concept. You'll have the unique opportunity to architect and deliver AI strategies that become the backbone of our customers' success, transforming how they work, innovate, and compete. Through our integrated consulting and engineering approach-leveraging deep alliances with Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud-you'll help organizations move from vision to execution, making AI practical, durable, and truly impactful.

Imagine being the trusted advisor who brings clarity to complex challenges, guiding senior executives to align on a transformative AI roadmap. You'll be instrumental in shaping business cases that deliver productivity gains, reduce operational costs, and strengthen compliance-while mapping out the tangible ROI that drives executive buy-in and long-term adoption.

In this role, you'll quarterback a high-performing team of account executives, solution architects, and technical experts, orchestrating seamless collaboration to deliver AI solutions tailored precisely to each customer's unique needs. You'll facilitate boardroom-level discussions, influence strategic decision-making, and see your recommendations come to life in ways that redefine what's possible for your clients.

If you're passionate about making a lasting impact, eager to champion responsible AI adoption, and thrive on building relationships that fuel innovation-this is your chance to be the catalyst for real change, helping organizations across industries shape their futures with confidence and clarity..

  • Facilitate C-level conversations to enhance understanding of AI and bring alignment at customers to specific AI initiatives
  • Partner co-sell & funding: align with Microsoft (and other hyperscalers) to unlock workshops, AMMP/MDF, and POC funding motions that accelerate deals.
  • Pipeline discipline: maintain accurate Salesforce hygiene and weekly cadence on funnel adds and sufficiency; leverage Sales Ops dashboards.
