Principal - Client AI Strategy & Ecosystem Solutions

Job Purpose

As the Principal of Client AI Strategy & Ecosystem Solutions, you will sit at the intersection of Go-to-Market (GTM) execution and technical innovation. You will act as the premier strategic advisor to our most critical enterprise clients, architecting and delivering high-impact AI Ecosystem solutions centered on AI Native storage.

Show full description

You will own senior stakeholder relationships, mapping complex enterprise business challenges to cutting-edge agentic architectures. This role is a high-visibility, fast-track leadership opportunity; you will not only design the frameworks that drive client AI transformation at a massive scale, but you will also shape our internal ecosystem strategy, scaling a team and a playbook to define the next era of enterprise automation.

Key Responsibilities

Drive Client AI Strategy & Solutioning: Partner directly with Fortune 500 executives and technical leaders to scope, structure, and design agentic workflow solutions that solve pointed operational bottlenecks and unlock massive business impact
Architect Scalable Agentic Workflows: Create clear, repeatable strategic frameworks and technical blueprints that help enterprise clients assess, deploy, and scale multi-agent systems and AI ecosystem integrations
Own Cross-Functional Ecosystem Initiatives: Lead initiatives from initial discovery to production-level design, coordinating closely with internal Product, Engineering, and GTM teams to ensure client feedback directly influences the core platform
Synthesize Market & Tech Trends: Gather and build a thorough understanding of the rapidly evolving LLM, RAG, and AI agent landscapes to identify emerging threats, partnership ecosystems, and long-term enterprise growth opportunities
Build Value Blueprints: Develop structured business cases, ROI models, and data-driven proof-of-concepts (PoCs) to validate strategic hypotheses and justify large-scale enterprise resource allocation.

Preferred Qualifications

The Agentic Mindset: Deep, specialized understanding of the AI ecosystem, with hands-on exposure to agentic workflow design, multi-agent frameworks, LLM orchestration, and enterprise integration patterns
Elite Stakeholder & GTM Communication: Proven ability to command a room of executive stakeholders by translating granular technical details, prompt design, and data architectures into a compelling, value-driven storyline
Structured & Ambiguous Problem Solving: Strong structured thinking with the ability to walk into unstructured client environments, diagnose complex corporate workflows, and build an execution roadmap
Entrepreneurial & High-Energy: A curious, self-starting professional who thrives in a "high-growth/start-up paced" ecosystem and is looking to actively step into people and technical leadership roles

Preferred Experience

4–7+ years of professional experience split between tier-one Technology/Management Consulting (e.g., Big 4) and a highly technical, customer-facing Sales Engineering / Solution Architecture / GTM Strategy role at a cutting-edge AI or SaaS enterprise platform.
Proven track record of deploying complex data analytics, cloud, or AI initiatives for large-scale enterprise clients
Direct experience with multi-agent orchestration frameworks and modern SaaS GTM strategies
Bachelor’s degree in Data Analytics, Business Administration, Computer Science, or a related field; MBA or advanced technical degree is a plus
