- Build ROI, TCO, and business-case justification to help customers understand the financial and operational tradeoffs between maintaining internal operations, using incumbent providers, or partnering with New Era
- Collaborate with solution architects, service delivery, operations, finance, and sales leadership to ensure the proposed managed services solution is technically sound, operationally supportable, financially viable, and aligned to customer expectations
- Help customers understand the post-close operating model, including onboarding, SLAs, ticketing, escalation paths, customer portal visibility, reporting, governance, QBR cadence, and continuous improvement processes
- Create account-level managed services growth strategies that identify expansion opportunities, service modernization initiatives, lifecycle engagements, and wallet-share opportunities within existing customers
- Position New Era's managed services as strategic business enablers across service desk, infrastructure management, cloud operations, network operations, unified communications, security operations, observability, and end-user support services
- Drive field enablement by coaching sales teams on discovery, qualification, attach strategy, financial value articulation, objection handling, and outcome-based positioning for managed services
- Build repeatable discovery frameworks, talk tracks, customer-facing materials, objection-handling guides, value stories, and attach motions that improve field adoption and sales consistency
- Build and maintain strategic relationships with technology partners to drive joint go-to-market motions, solution alignment, and customer opportunities
- Monitor market trends, competitive offerings, managed services consumption models, AI-driven operations, automation technologies, and customer buying patterns
Requirements
- Strong executive presence with the ability to engage and influence CIOs, CFOs, COOs, CTOs, CEOs, IT Directors, and other senior business stakeholders
- Proven ability to lead structured discovery that uncovers business pain, operational risk, decision processes, stakeholder alignment, competitive dynamics, financial impact, and readiness for change
- Strong command of value-based selling, MEDDPIC qualification, ROI/TCO analysis, business-case development, and executive stakeholder alignment
- Experience driving revenue in a pre-sales, overlay, consulting, managed services, or strategic advisory role, with a deep understanding of managed services business models, service delivery frameworks, governance, and recurring revenue strategies
- Demonstrated ability to attach and position managed services across cloud, cybersecurity, networking, collaboration/CX, infrastructure, Microsoft/CSP, endpoint, data center, observability, lifecycle, and professional services solutions
- Ability to translate technical service capabilities and operating models, including SLAs, governance, reporting, QBRs, ticketing, customer portals, and continuous improvement programs, into measurable business outcomes
- Strong understanding of ITIL, service management, customer success, and operational governance frameworks, with experience developing ROI models, TCO analyses, operating model comparisons, and financial justification for managed services adoption
- Ability to lead consultative, services-led engagements and align sales, architecture, delivery, operations, finance, customer success, and partner resources around customer pursuits and long-term recurring revenue growth
- Strong communication and commercial acumen with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts, determine opportunity viability, and influence sales teams and executives without direct authority
