Introduction
Technology sales at IBM is evolving its way of working to break beyond boundaries with innovative approaches. Preferring to 'show' vs. 'tell', Client Engineering co-creates with prospective customers, in real-time, on solutions to their hardest business challenges. As a Business Technology Leader within a Client Engineering squad, you'll partner with Technical Leaders across IBM sales teams and specialists to drive these experiential client engagements.
Being a seasoned leader and innovative strategist, you'll be the engine of business development as you qualify and prioritize Client Engineering engagements and lead the team in the execution of the client experience.
Excellent onboarding training will set you up for success, whilst ongoing development will continue to advance your career through its upward trajectory. Our sales environment is fast-paced and supportive. Always connected to a wider team, you'll be surrounded by other leaders and colleagues who are always willing to help and be helped - as you steer the creation of MVPs and proofs of concept (PoC) that obsess over user-centricity and business impact. All-the-while ensuring your teams are compelling clients to continually invest in IBM's people, products, and services.
