About the Role

Operate at the intersection of deep BFSI expertise and enterprise-grade technical credibility to translate agentic AI and intelligent automation capabilities into compelling, industry-specific business transformation narratives. This hybrid role bridges Solution Engineering and Industry Catalyst, carrying direct deal accountability and operating at the business transformation layer.

Responsibilities

  • Lead industry-specific pre-sales motions on strategic EMEA accounts, partnering with Account Executives from qualification through commercial close.
  • Own the business case, ROI model, and industry narrative for Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, and Finance Operations opportunities across EMEA and the Middle East.
  • Design and deliver executive-level discovery workshops, translating business pain into agentic AI and intelligent automation solution roadmaps.
  • Serve as the named BFSI industry expert on RFPs, RFIs, and strategic pursuits; lead responses to procurement and technical evaluation processes.
  • Engage Global System Integrators on joint solution design for major BFSI accounts.
  • Shape high-level solution architectures covering APA, Agentic Process Automation, IDP, and Co-Pilot modalities for BFSI use cases including KYC, AML, financial close, AP/AR automation, and claims processing.
  • Guide POC scoping and success criteria definition; support the SE team during technical validation phases on vertically relevant opportunities.
  • Maintain working knowledge of APA platform internals, integration patterns (SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow), and cloud deployment models.
  • Bridge technical depth of the SE team to the strategic perspective of the Catalyst team, amplifying both.
  • Build and maintain BFSI and Finance Operations vertical playbooks covering use case libraries, competitive positioning, and objection handling.
  • Deliver internal enablement sessions to upskill the EMEA SE team on industry dynamics, regulatory landscape, and BFSI buyer language.
  • Contribute to EMEA Industry Pack development alongside Industry Catalyst colleagues; represent Automation Anywhere at relevant industry events and analyst briefings.
  • Publish point-of-view content on agentic AI and intelligent automation trends in BFSI and Finance Operations via LinkedIn and internal platforms.
  • Develop executive briefing materials and CXO conversation frameworks for use by the broader EMEA SE team.
  • Build and maintain a network of industry practitioners, GSI contacts, and ecosystem partners in the BFSI vertical.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in BFSI, Insurance, or Finance Operations, combining a practitioner phase (banking, financial analysis, insurance operations, or FinTech) with a consulting or technology sales phase.
  • Deep industry knowledge across Banking & Capital Markets, Financial Services, and/or Insurance.
  • Demonstrable ability to lead enterprise architecture conversations, whiteboard solution designs, and scope POCs involving RPA, AI Agents, LLM integration, and enterprise platform integrations (SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow).
  • Working knowledge of agentic process automation concepts — agent orchestration, human-in-the-loop workflows, document intelligence, and co-pilot patterns.
  • Proven track record of operating at CXO and SVP level — conducting discovery, presenting business cases, and influencing procurement decisions in complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles.
  • Strong commercial acumen: ability to build ROI models, frame value propositions in CFO language, and navigate complex buying committees.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; comfortable independently creating polished industry narratives, executive decks, and ROI models.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Technology, or a related field.
  • Prior experience in a pre-sales, solution consulting, or industry advisory role at an enterprise software or consulting firm (Big 4, Tier 1 SI, or SaaS vendor).
  • Hands-on experience with Automation Anywhere A360 / APA, or a directly comparable intelligent automation platform.
  • Familiarity with BFSI regulatory frameworks (Basel III/IV, Solvency II, GDPR, DORA, PSD2) and their operational automation implications.
  • Experience building or contributing to industry vertical content libraries, competitive battle cards, or GTM playbooks.
  • Active LinkedIn presence and existing network in the BFSI community; history of industry event speaking, publication, or analyst engagement.
