Juice
-The “Stuff” it takes to be a Needle Mover

We get things done and drive results. We lead without a title, empowering others through a can-do attitude. We look forward to the goal, mentally mapping outevery checkpoint on the pathway to success, and visualizing what the final destination looks and feels like.

Teamwork

We appreciate the individuality of the people around us.

The Practice Director, AI Solutions leads Trace3’s technical presales practice for enterprise AI. This is a client-facing solution architecture role, not a delivery role. The Practice Director owns how Trace3 frames, architects, and defends AI solutions before a statement of work exists, and builds the team of AI architects who do that work at scale.

AI Solutions is accountable for turning all three into a coherent answer to a client business problem, and for making sure that answer survives scrutiny from a CIO, a CISO, and a CFO in the same room.

Clients are past the demo stage and into the hard part: connecting real data to real decisions, moving agentic systems from pilot into production, and proving the result is governed, secure, and worth the spend. The Practice Director is the senior technical voice Trace3 puts in front of those conversations, and the person responsible for building a team capable of having them without him or her in the room.

• Own the technical content of…
