About the role

  • Define and refine the Intelligence Platform and AI advisory offerings.
  • Connect data platforms, analytics, AI/ML, and agentic workflows to clear business and financial outcomes (growth, efficiency, risk).
  • Shape how Advisory supports phData’s 2026 AI strategy.
  • Codify successful approaches into frameworks, toolkits, and templates that are credible in the boardroom and actionable for delivery teams.
  • Monitor market and partner trends (Snowflake, AWS, etc.) to keep offerings differentiated and up to date.
  • Partner with Sales and CEM roles to shape and close complex, multi-phase Intelligence Platform and AI transformation deals.
  • Lead or support executive-facing discovery and framing conversations, helping crystallize the problem statement, value case, and transformation roadmap.
  • Design and package executive-facing offerings (e.g., CXO workshops, AI/Intelligence Platform briefings) that improve win rates and deal size.
  • Use advisory engagements to identify and qualify follow-on work across the Intelligence Platform stack.
  • Support commercial decisions on scope, phasing, and risk, balancing client value with margin and scalability, while respecting the commercial ownership defined in the CEM.
  • Personally lead or co-lead key advisory and strategy engagements, including workshops, roadmaps, and executive readouts.
  • Ensure advisory work is tightly integrated with delivery, so recommendations are implementable by phData’s core practices.
  • Help stand up early lighthouse programs that demonstrate the Intelligence Platform in action and capture patterns for reuse.
  • Hold a high bar for executive-ready outputs—structured, concise, financially grounded, and aligned to client strategic narratives.
  • Equip field teams to position, sell, and deliver advisory and Intelligence Platform offerings through training, artifacts, and shadowing- including effective geo-leverage (US, India, LATAM).
  • Contribute to consulting methods, toolkits, and operating rhythms that raise quality and consistency across advisory and delivery.
  • Mentor senior consultants and managers on strategic thinking, executive presence, and storytelling.
  • Represent Advisory in internal forums, helping align strategy, GTM, and delivery around a coherent Intelligence Platform narrative.

Requirements

  • 15+ years in data, analytics, AI, or technology consulting, with substantial time in senior advisory and/or delivery leadership roles.
  • Experience spanning Big 4 or global consulting and at least one smaller, high-growth, or AI-native firm.
  • Proven track record advising C-suite or senior business/IT leaders on data/AI strategy, investment decisions, and multi-year roadmaps, and seeing those strategies through into implementation.
  • Demonstrated ability to build and sell offerings: packaging services, pricing, positioning, and enablement for the field.
  • Strong commercial acumen: confident in deal shaping, value-based selling, and navigating trade-offs between growth, margin, and risk.
  • Ability to earn credibility with senior executives while rolling up your sleeves with solutions, delivery, and geo-distributed teams.
  • Comfort level with operating in high ambiguity with evolving structures, where you are helping to define the model rather than inheriting it.
  • Deep understanding of modern data platforms, analytics, and AI/ML, and how they come together as an enterprise Intelligence Platform.
  • Excellent storytelling, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills with senior business and technology leaders.
  • Nice-to-haves
  • Experience in PE-backed or high-growth environments.
  • Prior exposure to multi-geo delivery models (US, India, LATAM/nearshore).
Benefits
  • phData celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
  • Our approach helps us to build a winning team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and abilities.
  • Equal opportunity employer.
