• Build and execute multi-year account strategies, driving renewal, upsell, cross-sell, and new-logo growth across regions, business units, and service lines.

• Lead complex commercial discussions, including pricing strategy, contract negotiations, and large-scale expansion initiatives. 
• Own business excellence for the account: forecast accuracy, account health and risk management, and quarterly business review discipline. 
• Partner closely with regional leadership, solution/capability leaders, and delivery teams to align strategy and execution. You set commercial direction while trusting them to own their functional expertise. 
• Serve as the executive escalation point for the account, resolving critical-path risks and cross-functional or cross-regional blockers. 
• Confirm sign-off on go-to-market, marketing, and enablement content before external use, and stay closely engaged on solution and technical direction without owning the drafting or delivery execution. 
• Represent HTEC at the highest executive level with clients and internal leadership. 

Success profile 

• Deep experience in enterprise services and global account leadership. 
• Strong record of growing accounts across regions and business units. 
• Excellent executive-level influence, negotiation, and commercial deal-structuring skills. 
• Comfortable holding a single point of accountability across a complex, multi-stakeholder account team and being able to set commercial direction while trusting delivery and solution experts to own their own domains.
• Comfortable earning the confidence of highly autonomous, technically deep, delivery-embedded specialists (e.g., Forward Deployed roles). Has enough credibility and fluency to direct commercial and account strategy without needing to out-engineer them. 
• Enough fluency in delivery economics and solution narrative to negotiate credibly, without needing to author either. 
• Strategic commercial thinking with operational discipline. 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field; MBA or advanced degree a plus. 
• 10–15+ years leading large, complex services engagements and executive relationships having demonstrated impact and account complexity matter as much as tenure. 
• Track record with global or multi-region enterprise clients.  
• Experience operating inside a matrixed, multi-geography commercial structure, with a track record of resolving overlapping account and territory claims. 
• Demonstrated success managing a substantial book of business ($15m+).
