• Business alignment: Collaborate with customers to understand business objectives, working across teams to orchestrate those objectives into a compelling solution response.
• Service line ownership: Act as the single point of contact for Cloud Infrastructure and Security service line growth across the Hong Kong client portfolio.
• Technical vision: Develop and articulate cohesive technical and architectural visions, bringing competency groups together to deliver core objectives and providing thought leadership across the CIS domain.
• IT transformation strategy: Ensure alignment of systems with business objectives and lead strategic decision-making for cloud, infrastructure, and security transformation initiatives.
• Design and architecture: Perform design and architecture of business and IT solutions, and provide high-level business consulting to clients.
• Pre-sales and assessment: Conduct requirements-gathering analysis and workshops, develop pre-sales solutions, and perform technical assessments across cloud and security engagements.
• Technical leadership and negotiation: Provide technical leadership and strong negotiation skills in multi-party, multi-stakeholder environments.
• Program governance: Monitor and manage timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder communication across the pursuit lifecycle.
Performance Measures

• Quality and timeliness of solution design, architecture, and technical assessment deliverables.
• Client and stakeholder satisfaction across the pursuit cycle and delivery handoff.
• Effectiveness of cross-functional collaboration with competency, delivery, and partner teams.
• Growth of CIS pipeline and joint go-to-market offers developed with product and hyperscaler partners.
Candidate Profile
• IT services sales and solutioning experience: 15+ years of professional experience, with demonstrated IT services sales, pre-sales, or solutioning experience gained within Tier-1 global systems integrators (GSIs) — distinct from, and in addition to, general Cloud, Infrastructure, or Security technical, program, or account management experience.
• Domain expertise: Deep expertise in Cloud, Infrastructure, End User Computing, and Cybersecurity transformation, migration, and business-transformation programs.
• Technical breadth: Experience across multiple technology platforms and implementations, including end-to-end solution design and architecture.
• Consulting and pre-sales acumen: Strong grounding in business consulting, requirements analysis, pre-sales solutioning, joint go-to-market offer development, and domain thought leadership.
• Leadership: Demonstrated technical leadership and project/program management capability, with strong decision-making and strategic, analytical thinking.
• Commercial acumen: Working knowledge of requirement sizing methods, commercial offer construction, cloud hosting platforms, and industry solutions from leading product and hyperscaler vendors.
• AI Builder positioning: Brings an AI Builder mindset — able to identify and translate AI and automation opportunities into cloud, infrastructure, and security solutions that convert client AI investment into measurable enterprise value.
• Communication and collaboration: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across diverse internal and external teams.
