Specific Qualifications & Skills

- Deal Architecture: Proven ability to structure $5-10M+ contracts involving offshore/nearshore delivery models and complex governance frameworks.
- R&D Insight: Ability to discuss product roadmapping, MVP development, and the trade-offs between in-house vs. outsourced R&D.
- Sales Methodology: Proficiency in Challenger Sale or Gap Selling or Solution Selling, focusing on identifying "velocity bottlenecks" in a prospect's engineering team.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Annual Contract Value (ACV): Responsibility for hitting a yearly target of atleast $5Mn in new net annual service bookings.
