    "description": "<p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-weight: inherit\">Avahi is an AWS Premier partner with 6 AWS<span> </span></span>Companies focused<span style=\"color: inherit; font-weight: inherit\">, and a fast-growing GenAI practice. Over the last 18 months we've shipped production GenAI work across legal, healthcare, energy, and enterprise SaaS, including NL2SQL agents, conversation analytics, multi-agent workflows, healthcare AI, and cloud migration paired with AI modernization. Q1 2026 overattained meaningfully on the back of migrations and GenAI engagement growth.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: inherit\">What we're missing is a single technical leader who owns the AI conversation externally with customer CIOs and enterprise architects, with AWS account teams, on stage, and in print. Our CTO runs platform, delivery, and engineering excellence. Our CRO owns revenue. We need a peer to both who is the public face of Avahi's AI point of view and who runs the field and solutions team that converts strategic conversations into signed work.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: inherit\">This is not a hands-on-keyboard role. It is a senior technical leader who has shipped enough real AI systems to be credible at depth, can hold a Fortune 500 CIO's attention for an hour, and runs a team that turns that conversation into a closed deal.</span></p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What you'll own</span><br></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">AI GTM strategy.</span> Define Avahi's AI/GenAI go-to-market, including which industries, which use cases, which buyer personas, and which AWS services we lead with. Refresh quarterly.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Customer-facing AI advisory.</span> Be the senior technical voice in our largest enterprise pursuits. Lead AI strategy conversations with customer CXOs and enterprise architects. Translate AI hype into deployable architecture.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">AWS-facing evangelism.</span> Build deep relationships with AWS solutions architects, partner managers, and AI specialist teams. Make sure Avahi is in the room when AWS sellers scope AI opportunities. Speak at re:Invent, Summits, and partner forums.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">External thought leadership.</span> Author Avahi's AI point of view in long-form (whitepapers, AWS co-authored content), short-form (LinkedIn, conference keynotes), and on stage. Be quotable.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Solutions Engineering &amp; AI Pre-Sales leadership.</span> Own the team that builds demos, runs POCs, and supports sales technically. Raise the bar on what we put in front of customers and how fast we move.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Demo and reference architecture portfolio.</span> Build a living library of working AI demos and reference architectures that customers and AWS sellers actually want to see.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Partnership with CTO and CRO.</span> Co-own the seam between platform engineering and revenue execution. Make sure what we sell is what we can build.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What we're looking for</span><br></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">15+ years in enterprise technology</span>, with the last 5+ focused on AI/ML, GenAI, or applied data science at scale. You've shipped real systems, even if you don't write production code anymore.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Field CTO, Principal SA, or VP-level customer-facing experience</span> at AWS, another hyperscaler, an AI platform company (Databricks, Snowflake, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere), or a top-tier consultancy. You know what a great enterprise AI conversation feels like because you've led hundreds of them.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Deep AWS fluency.</span> You know the AWS AI/ML stack (Bedrock, SageMaker, Q, agentic services) at architectural depth. You have a working network inside AWS partner and AI/ML teams.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Executive presence.</span> You can hold a room with a Fortune 500 CIO and a room of 500 conference attendees. Customers ask for you by name on the next call.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Proven team leader.</span> You've built and run technical pre-sales or solutions engineering teams of 10 to 30 people. You hire well, coach hard, and people stay.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Startup Founder/Business fluency.</span> You read a P&amp;L, understand services unit economics, and can have a real conversation about deal margin, utilization, and pipeline shape, not just technology.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Bias to ship.</span> Prototypes over polish. POCs over decks. You don't need a perfect slide to start a conversation.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Nice to have</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<span style=\"color: inherit\">Services or consulting leadership experience at scale </span>\n</li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\">Published author, recognized conference speaker, or industry voice in AI/ML</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\">Existing relationships with AWS AI/ML partner leadership</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: inherit\">Experience selling into regulated industries (healthcare, financial services)</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Why Work Here</span></p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Remote-First Flexibility: </span><br>Enjoy work-life harmony in a remote-first environment that allows you to work from anywhere.</li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Innovative Culture: </span><br>We embrace a startup mindset, encouraging creativity, agility, and growth.
