## About the role

Be the strategist in the room. Sit with CIOs, COOs, and their teams on where AI changes their business. Bring a point of view they can’t get from their own staff, and shape the technology and operating strategy — not a product pitch Understand the business cold. Learn how the customer makes money and where the friction is. Find the problems worth hundreds of millions to solve, and frame them in their language, not Distyl’s

## What they're looking for

- A track record as a trusted advisor to senior executives — CIOs, COOs, and their peers — at large enterprises. The person leaders call before they’ve decided what to do
- 10-15+ years of experience in management consulting, an operational/ transformation leadership role within large enterprises, or product leadership role within enterprise technology companies
- Experience in standing up and delivering strategic agendas ($100M+ value impact) with cross-functional executive team - shaping roadmaps, driving scoping and discovery, establishing ROI and value case for funding approvals
- Fluency in both technology and business strategy: you can hold a conversation on architecture and on the P&L, and translate between the two
- Experience turning strategic relationships into large, multi-year programs — and growing them
- Command of complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise dynamics — procurement, security, legal, and competing internal agendas — without ever reading as a salesperson
