Role Overview
As Growth Leader - AI Engineering, Strategic Accounts, you will sit at the intersection of strategic account growth, technology advisory, and transformation execution. You will build trusted relationships with CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, business executives, and their leadership teams; understand their enterprise priorities; and translate those priorities into a differentiated AI engineering and modernization agenda. You will own the opportunity lifecycle from executive dialogue and problem definition through solution shaping, commercial closure, mobilization, and scale. Success means moving beyond isolated pilots: creating funded transformation roadmaps, building durable executive sponsorship, and expanding Fractal’s role into repeatable, enterprise-wide programs with measurable business and technology outcomes.

•
Advise clients on responsible AI, security, privacy, model risk, data governance, interoperability, and operating-model implications required for enterprise adoption.

•
Established credibility with CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and senior business leaders, with the presence and judgment to challenge constructively and build consensus.
•
Strong understanding of enterprise modernization across cloud-native architecture, data platforms and Lakehouse patterns, APIs and integration, microservices, DevSecOps, platform engineering, MLOps/LLMOps, observability, and legacy transformation.
