About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

This is a new role on a new team.
Your job is to help Nagarro win work by crafting the narratives, strategies, and proposals that make clients say yes.
The core of the job: turn ambiguous opportunities into compelling, differentiated proposals that win.
Develop narrative strategies for pursuits, RFPs, and proactive proposals that differentiate Nagarro in competitive evaluations.
Help clients identify opportunities at the intersection of business, technology, and AI before they know how to ask for them.
Shape product and design strategy within proposals, grounding every pitch in credible, specific thinking about how things should be built.
Translate complex AI and technology capabilities into clear stories that connect to client problems and business outcomes.
Contribute to standing up AI-native teams at Nagarro, shaping how those teams are positioned and sold.
Build reusable narrative frameworks, case study assets, and pitch patterns that raise the quality bar across pursuits.
Use AI as a core part of your own workflow: research, synthesis, drafting, analysis.

Requirements

What you’ll need

The ability to take an ambiguous brief and turn it into a compelling, structured proposal narrative without being told how.
Strong product and design sensibility. You can speak credibly about how things should be built, not just how they should be described.
Business consulting instincts. You understand client problems at a strategic level and can frame solutions in terms of outcomes, not deliverables.
Written and visual communication that is clear, precise, and persuasive. You are as comfortable writing a strategy narrative as you are directing a slide deck.
Fluency in AI as a strategic lens. Not as an engineer, but as someone who understands how AI reshapes products, services, and organizations, and can weave that perspective naturally into proposals.
Comfort with ambiguity. Pitch work rarely comes with perfect briefs. AI is a fast-moving space where the right answer is still being invented. You find that energizing, not paralyzing.
Self-direction. You thrive with autonomy, deadlines, and creative freedom. You do outstanding work without needing someone looking over your shoulder.
Range across strategy and execution. You can think at the level of a business case and then get into the details of a specific slide or paragraph.
A portfolio that demonstrates compelling narrative work, strategic depth, and measurable impact on pursuits or proposals.
Context Matters. The best people for this role come from places where strategy, design, and storytelling overlap: consulting, design agencies, product strategy, professional services, or a combination of those. The specific background matters less than what you can demonstrate.
