Capgemini seeks a Senior Engagement Lead, an executive-level professional accountable for leading and scaling the Insight & Data (I&D) portfolio for a major CPRD customer. This role involves managing a large, high-performing organization of over 500 professionals across various geographies. The core responsibilities include ensuring delivery excellence, fostering client partnerships, driving portfolio growth, achieving financial targets, and leading talent development.

A strong emphasis is placed on expanding the engagement to align with the customer's evolving data, analytics, and AI strategies. The ideal candidate possesses a pragmatic, "builder" mindset, capable of articulating a clear vision and executing it effectively to achieve tangible business outcomes such as increased bookings, contribution margin, revenue, and market recognition.

This position requires a high degree of autonomy and a proactive approach to driving change within complex organizational structures. The incumbent will be instrumental in growing the business from its current strong position towards a potential billion-scale enterprise.

Key responsibilities include:

- Overseeing a portfolio of 500+ Full-Time Employees (FTEs) with expertise in Data Engineering, Analytics, and AI, preferably utilizing Google or Azure data stacks. - Managing end-to-end program delivery across various pricing models. - Directing delivery for multiple programs, with Project Managers and Scrum Masters reporting into this role. - Cultivating senior-level customer relationships, effectively managing expectations, and controlling scope while maintaining business partner engagement. - Championing I&D technologies and overseeing the delivery of Data Integration, Reporting, AI, and ML programs. - Establishing and maintaining a robust governance model for the managed portfolio. - Engaging in solutioning and pre-sales activities to identify and pursue growth opportunities. - Proactively identifying areas for innovation, automation, and value-added services for the customer. - Demonstrating strong people management skills, including identifying resource potential, skill gaps, and future training needs. - Mentoring and motivating teams to foster teamwork and build effective working relationships across organizational boundaries. - Effectively managing project financials and operational parameters of the engagement.

The ideal candidate brings 15-20 years of experience with a proven track record in project delivery and significant P&L contribution. A Bachelor's degree is mandatory, with an MBA being strongly preferred. Prior experience leading CPRD engagements is a significant advantage.

Essential qualifications include expertise in leading and driving Data Engineering, Analytics, and AI technologies/platforms. Candidates must be motivated to deliver high-quality work, prioritize customer satisfaction, and leverage intellect, insight, and creativity to build solutions collaboratively.

Key attributes encompass a strong customer orientation, excellent decision-making, problem-solving, communication, and presentation skills. The ability to exercise sound judgment, shape compelling solutions, and tackle complex, unstructured problems with appropriate assumptions is crucial. Strong collaboration skills for interacting with diverse, multi-cultural, and multi-functional teams across geographies are vital.

This role demands an ability to "roll up sleeves," possess strong executive presence, and exhibit an entrepreneurial spirit. Superb leadership and team-building capabilities are necessary to foster consensus and achieve goals through collaboration rather than direct authority. A positive, results-oriented style, characterized by effective listening, motivation, delegation, influence, and monitoring, is expected.

The successful candidate will establish immediate credibility with peers, earning respect for their intelligence and technical expertise. An engaging and open interpersonal style, complemented by analytical pragmatism to dissect complex issues quickly, is essential. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are required for effective interaction with professional staff, senior executives, and the broader business community. A demonstrated ability and willingness to partner internally and externally to achieve optimal client and Capgemini objectives is paramount.
