Responsibilities

  • 01Be the strategist in the room. Sit with CIOs, COOs, and their teams on where AI changes their business. Bring a point of view they can’t get from their own staff, and shape the technology and operating strategy — not a product pitch
  • 02Understand the business cold. Learn how the customer makes money and where the friction is. Find the problems worth hundreds of millions to solve, and frame them in their language, not Distyl’s
  • 03Turn strategy into outcomes. Translate executive conversations into real programs, mobilize Distyl’s forward-deployed engineers and researchers, and stay accountable to the metric that has to move
  • 04Grow the relationship. Expand from a first program into a portfolio across business units and budgets. Done well, these become Distyl’s largest relationships — tens of millions a year and climbing
  • 05Earn trust over the long run. Make the call that serves the customer even when it costs Distyl in the short term. That is what keeps a relationship compounding
  • 06Be the connective tissue. Align Distyl’s delivery, product, and research teams behind the commitments you make, and give leadership a clear read — explanations and plans, not excuses

Requirements

  • 01A track record as a trusted advisor to senior executives — CIOs, COOs, and their peers — at large enterprises. The person leaders call before they’ve decided what to do
  • 0210-15+ years of experience in management consulting, an operational/ transformation leadership role within large enterprises, or product leadership role within enterprise technology companies
  • 03Experience in standing up and delivering strategic agendas ($100M+ value impact) with cross-functional executive team - shaping roadmaps, driving scoping and discovery, establishing ROI and value case for funding approvals
  • 04Fluency in both technology and business strategy: you can hold a conversation on architecture and on the P&L, and translate between the two
  • 05Experience turning strategic relationships into large, multi-year programs — and growing them
  • 06Command of complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise dynamics — procurement, security, legal, and competing internal agendas — without ever reading as a salesperson
  • 07AI-native instincts: you use frontier AI tools yourself and can speak credibly about what they change for a business
  • 08The judgment to tell a customer a hard truth, including when not to buy. Serve, don’t sell.
  • 09A history of leading large-scale enterprise programs — transformations with significant budgets ($XXM+) and many moving parts
  • 10You’ve been the person an executive team trusts with their biggest technology-driven bets
