Job Description SummaryThe North American Growth Leader is a strategic commercial role responsible for driving regional market assessment, segmentation, and long-term product strategy. Serving as the bridge between regional market realities and global product lines, you will define end-to-end solution architecture, craft go-to-market attack plans, and partner with Marketing to drive demand. While you own early-stage prospecting, qualification, and internal solution advocacy, you will collaborate closely with Sales to advance opportunities, ultimately accountable for commercial pipeline growth, target account penetration, and profitable solution margins.

- Define, implement and maintain market segmentation and target account lists: develop market segmentation criteria, identify high-priority customer types and buyer personas. Build and maintain target account lists in common format across all Growth Leaders to guide prospecting and customer acquisition strategy.
- Collaborate with Global Product Line on North American market intelligence: feed regional market insights, segmentation, regulatory trends, and competitive findings into global roadmap planning to ensure regional market realities inform product decisions.
- Support Long Term Strategy (LTS) planning: provide regional market insights and multi-year market evolution perspective to inform 3-5 year product strategy. Validate regional market assumptions and ensure regional customer needs and competitive positioning are reflected in long-term product direction.
- Create the commercial strategy and attack plan: define regional positioning, value proposition, and customer use cases informed by market assessment and global guidance. Develop go-to-market approach targeting high-priority accounts. Own the sales playbook that translates strategy into sales execution.

- Own prospecting and opportunity identification: identify and qualify new customer opportunities using strategic market discovery conversations and pitches grounded in segmentation and market knowledge. Hand off to Sales when a commercial approach is defined; do not manage opportunities end-to-end.
- Support the progression of qualified opportunities through the sales cycle: provide market, competitive, and solution architecture context to Sales as opportunities advance from identification through proposal. Attend key customer moments where GL market expertise and solution knowledge add value. Do not own sales execution or account management.
- Act as champion for the solution internally: drive awareness and education across the Growth Team, Sales, and business lines on market potential, customer needs, solution architecture, and positioning. Provide training to Sales on positioning and solution architecture at launch and when material updates occur. Capture and share market insights and customer learning back to the team.
- Metrics: Accountable for market assessment and sizing completion; target account list development and accuracy; commercial pipeline growth (count and dollars) from prospecting-qualified opportunities; customer pilots and proof-of-concept placement at target accounts; and profitable solution growth and gross margin by segment.

- Proactive self-starter with "doer" mindset, able to drive execution with clear ownership and discipline.
- Ability to synthesize quantitative market data and qualitative customer input into cohesive market strategy and communicate persuasively to customers and leadership.
- Strong financial and analytical skills; comfort building market models, segmentation frameworks, and go-to-market strategies.
