Introduction
The Technology Deployment Leader (TDL) is tasked with enhancing the Customer's understanding of their IBM contracts (ELA) and the capabilities and value it can provide to the Commonwealth, as well as working with the Customer to achieve and measure these outcomes. It's essential that the TDL rapidly establishes relationships with the customer's vendor and partner management teams as well as the many business units who have the potential to use the capabilities available to them in the contract.
Your role and responsibilities
The TDL will identify, expand and accelerate conversations to match these capabilities with Customer needs resulting in the new and expanded deployment of IBM solutions. Whilst this role sits within the Technology Expert Labs business, the TDL is a key member of the IBM Customer account team. The TDL contributes to the planning, thought leadership and other activities that assist the Customer in defining and achieving their objectives. Additionally, the TDL needs to be conversant with the contract terms, build their understanding of how IBM's software is licensed and be able to provide guidance to IBM's sellers on creating work orders. They also lead the governance and administration of the ELA.
