AI & GenAI Fluency * Ahead of the curve on AI - able to articulate the AI adoption journey from data readiness and governed foundations through to operationalized AI, agentic workflows, and GenAI applications - with particular fluency in the connection between data foundations and AI at scale. * Conversant in LLM/GenAI application patterns: RAG architectures, fine-tuning, vector databases, AI agents, and responsible AI/model governance. * Experience scoping and positioning AI Readiness assessments, AI strategy roadmaps, and AI use-case prioritization for enterprise clients. Go-to-Market & Soft Skills * Activator mindset: high ownership, curiosity, and persistence to proactively identify, pursue, and develop opportunities - using Data & AI as a catalyst to expand relationships and drive growth. * Exceptional communication: proven ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and to influence senior executives. * Ability to shape solutions with clients that focus on business outcomes and measurable impact. * C-suite executive presence and advisory skills - someone who can be confidently brought into a CIO/CDO meeting with little preparation. * Strong partner ecosystem fluency - able to collaborate effectively with Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft, and AWS FSI teams to co-sell and co-deliver. ## Description At Slalom, we combine personal connection with global scale to create environments where work is loved, and life is enriched.
