Client Solutions Director, Digital Commerce

As a Connected Commerce Client Solution leader, you will act as the critical bridge between our prospective clients’ business challenges and Acosta Group’s omnichannel commerce solutions. You will serve as the strategic and technical advisor during the Go-To-Market (GTM) cycle, partnering with the Business Development Executives to drive value-based selling, technology demonstrations, and proof of concept/validations.

Your primary objective is to deeply understand clients’ pain points, seamlessly align them with our connected commerce capabilities, and definitively prove the financial and operational impact of our solutions. You will own the technical win by scoping requirements, orchestrating internal delivery experts, leading short-form pilots, and delivering compelling Proof of Value (PoV) and ROI assessments to executive stakeholders.
