This is a foundational role in the evolution of a global design solutioning model, with India serving as the primary center of gravity from which regional spokes in the Americas, EMEA, and beyond are supported.
This leader directly manages a team of Industry Design Solution Leaders based in India, overseeing how design is positioned, scoped, and sold across verticals in support of cross-regional pursuits. While the team is regionally based, the mandate is inherently global - partnering closely with regional design solutions leaders and sales leadership across geographies to drive consistent, high-quality design solutioning at scale.
The role requires executive client-facing presence - leading pitches, workshops, and strategic conversations - alongside the operational and people leadership needed to run a high-performing solutioning team. They must be credible across design craft, commercial strategy, and global stakeholder dynamics simultaneously.

4. Global Collaboration & Cross-Regional Alignment - Operate as a key node in the global design solutioning network - partnering with regional design solutions leaders in the Americas, EMEA, and other geographies as peers. - Share pipeline intelligence, coordinate on cross-regional pursuits, and align approaches on global accounts to avoid duplication or conflicting narratives. - Contribute to global solutions strategy in partnership with the Global Lead, Design Sales & Solutions.
5. Delivery Oversight & Quality Governance - Serve as a senior escalation point for design solutioning and delivery challenges across industries. - Ensure the team has the right delivery models, staffing strategies, and capability readiness for upcoming engagements across all regions they support.
6. Cross-Functional Collaboration - Act as the design liaison for global and regional executives - participating in planning, forecasting, financial reviews, and portfolio performance discussions. - Ensure strong alignment between design, consulting, engineering, and digital teams across the engagements the India team supports. - Collaborate with marketing and GTM teams to shape industry-specific assets, case studies, and capability narratives.

**Portfolio & Pipeline Oversight**
Ability to manage a portfolio of active pursuits across verticals and geographies simultaneously - understanding coverage, prioritization, and risk. - Experience partnering with sales and account leadership to influence early pursuit shaping. - Comfort escalating into or leading high-value deals that require senior design alignment.
**Design Fluency**
- Sufficient depth across UX, product design, service design, and creative production to evaluate quality, challenge approaches, and set direction. - Understanding of how modern design teams are structured and how design integrates with engineering and consulting delivery. - Awareness of AI-native design workflows and how they are changing what is sellable and deliverable.
**People Leadership & Model Building**
- Direct management experience overseeing senior design leaders - setting direction, managing performance, and developing their sales and solutioning capability. - Ability to build and operationalize a solutioning model, not just manage within one - comfortable establishing practices, standards, and ways of working from the ground up. - Strong coaching instincts at the leadership level - developing commercial and client-facing capability in others. - Operates with a high degree of independence - able to own the solutioning function without requiring heavy direction.
**Global Stakeholder Navigation**
