The Opportunity

Are you a transformation leader ready to architect the future of Financial Services?

We are looking for a Lead Value Engineer to serve as the chief architect for critical SaaS and AI adoption workstreams across top-tier banking and insurance accounts. This is not a standard process optimization role. You will act as a trusted advisor to C-suite executives (COO, CCO, CRO, CFO), blending deep operational DNA with strategic transformation expertise and an AI-first mindset. Your mission is to design Target Operating Models (TOM), translate abstract client needs into actionable Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies, and deliver multi-year technical roadmaps that drive massive financial impact.

The Impact You Will Drive

• Identify & Architect Value: Translate executive priorities into AI-driven use cases and establish robust Value Realization Frameworks.
• Build Solution Blueprints: Transform complex business bottlenecks into scalable, end-to-end architectural frameworks and data flows, executing them from concept to reality.
• Quantify Impact: Construct data-backed business cases highlighting quantifiable financial wins, targeting $10M+ in cost savings.
• Win the Room & Innovate: Deliver compelling value narratives directly to C-level stakeholders, acting as an industry thought leader to generate massive opportunity pipelines.
• Orchestrate & Realize Change: Act as a Master Black Belt for clients by embedding compliance, mapping bottlenecks, and automating end-to-end workflows.
• Drive Executive Workshops: Facilitate high-stakes capability-scoring, GTM foundation building, and industry benchmarking sessions with enterprise leadership.
• Manage the Journey: Own the end-to-end customer value journey through technical discovery, solution design, pilots, and Quarterly Business Reviews.

How You Will Scale & Innovate

• Design AI Roadmaps: Build comprehensive generative AI and automation roadmaps focused on complex, multi-agent end-to-end orchestration, moving far beyond simple task-bots.
• Codify Success: Create standardized blueprint templates empowering enterprise teams to rapidly assess and replicate automation opportunities.
• Shape the Product: Bridge the gap between customers and Product teams by sharing hands-on, production-level insights from AI
