We are looking for a Business Head / Practice Head for the Ideas2IT Consulting practice.

Why Choose Ideas2IT:

Ideas2IT has all the good attributes of a product startup and a services company. Since we launch our products, you will have ample opportunities to learn and contribute. However, single-product companies stagnate in the technologies they use. In our multiple product initiatives and customer-facing projects, you can work on various technologies.

Gen AI is going to change the world. Big companies like Microsoft are betting heavily on this (see here and here). We are following suit.

  • End to end business ownership for the Ideas2IT Consulting Practice including strategy, execution, offerings, pre-sales, revenues, consulting project execution and people leadership.
  • Build, maintain and position the consulting offerings portfolio.
  • Set up and lead the overall consulting practice for Ideas2It
  • This will include a central Pre-Sales team to work with sales, practice and delivery teams for customer proposals

  • Good knowledge in areas like Digital Transformation, AI & ML, Data Science, Data Engineering & Analytics, BI, Cloud, and related technologies
  • Hands on Pre-Sales experience including exposure to working with sales and practice teams for proposal development and presentations
  • Must have executed and led consulting projects such as workshops, assessments and advisory engagements
  • Strong knowledge of IT services project execution and delivery, especially with Global Delivery (Onsite-Nearshore-Offshore) in an IT services context
  • Outstanding leadership skills, excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across team boundaries
  • Ability to work as an Individual Contributor rather than just being a manager of a team
  • Consulting experience with US customers, especially in the healthcare sector
  • Prior experience with custom Application Development with latest technology stacks
  • Prior experience in Product Management and Engineering
  • Domain experience in healthcare and/or financial services
  • Strong knowledge of AI, ML, Gen AI and LLMs including business use cases across industry sectors
