• Develop a strong understanding of Genesys solutions (CX, Contact Center, AI, Cloud) and align them to BFSI-specific use cases such as customer onboarding, collections, service automation, and fraud handling.

• Drive account-based selling, coordinating cross-functional resources (pre-sales, partners, alliances, delivery teams).

• Build and maintain industry and competitive intelligence, especially around BFSI CX trends, regulatory shifts (RBI, IRDAI, SEBI), and competitor positioning.

• Represent Genesys at the highest levels within customer and partner organizations, maintaining a strong market presence.

• Translate client business objectives into value-driven CX transformation outcomes using Genesys solutions.

• Demonstrate a strong commitment to execution excellence, customer success, and long-term account growth.
