· Identify early signals, themes, and hypotheses that shape potential large-deal opportunities and inform pipeline discussions.
· Generate, validate, and refine intelligence outputs using AI-enabled tools, and improve prompts, workflows, templates, and intelligence quality.
· Collaborate with pursuit teams, account teams, and senior sales stakeholders while managing ambiguity, tight timelines, and stakeholder feedback with professional judgment.
What you must have to be considered
· MBA from a Tier-1 or Tier-2 business school.
· 1-2 years of experience in sales intelligence, business or strategy analysis, consulting, financial services or analytics, or an IT services or technology firm.

These will help you succeed
· An undergraduate degree in information technology or computer science.
· Exposure to creating, configuring, or experimenting with AI workflows, agents, or vibe coding. Coding is not mandatory, but practical AI engagement is highly valued.
