About Cognizant Moment
Cognizant Moment is focused on reinventing experience in an AI-enabled world. The practice combines deep industry expertise, data insights, and generative AI to help clients deliver personalized, innovative experiences across marketing, commerce, digital products, content and marketing platforms, modern workplace, and employee engagement.
Overview
The SLS Executive is a field sales leader who sits at the center of demand generation for Moment's full portfolio — Adobe-based marketing, commerce and design, digital product and experience transformation, content and marketing platforms, and modern workplace — within Cognizant's Healthcare business unit in North America. This role owns the end-to-end Moment sales motion for an assigned account portfolio: identifying opportunities, shaping solutions, and closing business across the full Moment portfolio for leading Payor, Provider, and other healthcare insurance players.
The SLS Executive is a "trusted advisor" to both the client and the Cognizant Client Partner, blending strategic, tactical, and street-smart sales experience with working knowledge across Experience Transformation & AI, Digital Marketing, Adobe Experience Cloud, Content & Marketing Platforms, and Modern Workplace. SLS Executives are typically assigned into existing accounts, with some also engaging in new-logo pursuits.

• Create and present account pipeline, QBR, and executive status reports; participate in regular pipeline cadences
Collaborate Across the Organization
