The Area Catalyst Squads Lead leads all Catalyst Squad activity within one area (Americas, EME or APAC) – and is personally active in the work. Approximately 30–50% of this role's capacity is spent directly in the field: running discovery and pre‑sales on priority deals, co‑selling with Microsoft, and acting as a senior SME on high‑value customer engagements. The postholder leads a distributed, multi‑discipline squad function spanning all five solution domains – directly managing Squad Service Delivery Leads and Solution Specialists, owning area customer success, and contributing to the global Catalyst Solutions portfolio through delivery intelligence and IP creation. This is a player‑coach role. It requires both the operational capability to run a squad function and the technical and commercial credibility to personally win and deliver Catalyst Solution engagements at the most senior level.
