Strategic Business Insights Manager

About this opportunity: As a Manager in SNBA, you will lead high-impact, time-boxed sprints with America’s largest communications service providers and internal leaders. This role is ideal for a successful management consultant ready to step into a tech company and lead the AI transformation—designing the playbooks, workflows, and assets others will use—rather than being the object of it. You will own problem solving end-to-end, coach high-performing cross-functional teams, and productize insights so our sales organization can scale impact across accounts.
