This is a hands-on, in-office leadership role for a builder who leads from the front.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You will be a strategic partner to Sales, Product, and the Executive Leadership Team, translating C3 AI’s industrial-grade, secure, hallucination-free Enterprise AI platform into narratives that resonate with the C-Suite of the Global 2000 and convert into measurable pipeline.</span></p>
