AI Transformation, Value Advisory Senior Director - 11531

What You’ll Do

Partner with account teams (AEs, Solution Advisory, Forward-Deployed Engineers, Coupa Spend Lab) throughout the end-to-end customer lifecycle to shape deal strategy, align on value hypotheses, and create compelling commercial narratives.
Lead high-quality discovery with senior and executive stakeholders to understand strategic objectives, current processes, pain points, and organizational constraints across the sourcing, procurement, supply chain, finance, and treasury functions—with a particular focus on identifying high-value AI and automation use cases.
Develop business cases and ROI models that synthesize complex datasets, benchmark performance, and quantify achievable outcomes across improved savings rates, increased spend capture, process improvements, and working capital optimization.
Create and deliver executive-level presentations that clearly communicate findings, recommendations, and target metrics with a strong storytelling arc.
Guide account teams as a deal captain, ensuring value is consistently positioned, integrated into the sales strategy, and reinforced throughout the cycle.
Contribute to territory and account planning, identifying where value-led conversations can unlock pipeline and accelerate customer engagement.
Mentor and elevate Value Advisory peers, sharing frameworks, best practices, and content development, and insights.
Design, develop, and facilitate AI Transformation Workshops tailored to each customer’s spend data, organizational maturity, and strategic priorities. Workshops should identify 1–2 high-value AI use cases, assess technical feasibility, and build executive commitment for Coupa Compose and AI agent adoption.
Conduct AI readiness assessments evaluating customer maturity across culture, data quality, process standardization, and change management capacity. Frame readiness gaps in business terms and co-develop adoption roadmaps with customer stakeholders.
Serve as the connective tissue between customer vision and technical build within the cross-functional pod model (Value Advisory, Solution Advisory, FDEs, Business Transformation Consultants). Define the “what” and “why” of the AI transformation vision while enabling architects and engineers to define the “how.”
Guide customers through organizational change management (OCM) implications of moving from manual to AI-augmented and agentic workflows, including workforce evolution, new governance structures, and Centers of Excellence for AI-driven procurement.
