Strategic Pursuit Leader, Large Deals

The Pursuit Leader is a single threaded leader responsible for managing and orchestrating end-to-end strategic pursuit cycle. They create an account engagement plan and own its execution. During early stages, they will review the client-facing point of view, and compelling value propositions and provide feedback from a deal shaping perspective. They influence, orchestrate, and facilitate internal alignment to remove blockers and achieve desired business outcomes. The Pursuit Leader will clearly understand the value drivers, value proposition, transformation angle, stakeholder map (including board relationships), competitive landscape, decision process and timeline, including clarity of the approval path. Based on this they create an actionable Pursuit Strategy / Win Strategy) that clearly articulates what we need to do to win, and continually refresh that as the pursuit progresses. They must continually develop and refine the understanding of “who amongst the client executives need to believe what, and what needs to be true for the client to do the deal with NTT DATA”. They continually leverage the value proposition to align the stakeholders to the value proposition and shape/create a deal. Lastly, from a key renewals perspective, this function will create a process for high value renewals - encompassing assessment, strategy, and execution, and will work with the Industry Leaders to roll it out.
