Middle East & Africa
The architect of Globant's growth narrative in the Middle East.
A singular owner of the end-to-end opportunity — from sensing a client's ambition to presenting a winning, AI-powered solution that makes Globant the partner of choice.
01
Role at a Glance
Core Responsibilities
◎
Define The North Star
Set a clear, ambitious vision for each opportunity — one that aligns Globant's capabilities with the client's transformation agenda and positions us as a long-term strategic partner rather than a vendor.
◎
Ai-Enhanced
Build the "Why We Win" narrative — leveraging AI-powered competitive intelligence tools and market-sensing frameworks to articulate a differentiated, evidence-backed strategy for each pursuit.
◎
Design the Solution
Ai-Enhanced
Architect end-to-end solutions that integrate Globant's studios, GX capabilities, and emerging AI/GenAI offerings — translating business problems into a coherent technology and experience blueprint tailored to the client's context.
◎
Understand The Opportunity Deeply
Conduct rigorous discovery — mapping the client's strategic priorities, stakeholder landscape, budget cycles, and competitive dynamics.
Identify unarticulated needs and translate them into addressable business opportunities.
◎
Implement the Strategy
Orchestrate the internal pursuit team across Studios, GX, Finance, Legal, and executive sponsors — ensuring the strategy translates flawlessly into the proposal, commercial model, and delivery commitment.
◎
Day-To-Day Cross-Studio Leadership
Partner daily with technology studios, GX teams, and regional delivery leads — acting as the connective tissue between disciplines to develop integrated, world-class solutions on time and at quality.
◎
Ai-Enhanced
Write and structure executive-level narratives — using AI-assisted content tools and storytelling frameworks — that make the complex feel inevitable and the proposal feel personal.
Every slide, word, and visual earns its place.
◎
Prepare and Deliver the Pitch
Lead the full proposal presentation — owning rehearsals, Q&A preparation, and live delivery.
Coach internal contributors and ensure executive coherence across the entire pitch experience.
Expanding Globant'S Regional Footprint
◎
Ai-Enhanced
Continuously refine Globant's go-to-market positioning for MEA — identifying which AI, cloud, experience, and industry propositions resonate with Saudi Vision 2030, UAE Centennial 2071, and other national agendas.
◎
Value Proposition Design
Build, iterate, and codify reusable value propositions by vertical (BFSI, Government, Energy, Retail, Healthcare) — making it faster and more compelling to respond to future opportunities.
◎
Ai-Enhanced
Embed AI and GenAI capabilities (agentic workflows, intelligent automation, LLM-powered products) into every solution design — positioning Globant as the partner that leads with AI, not just applies it.
◎
Executive Relationship Cultivation
Build trusted C-suite relationships with key accounts and prospects in the region — acting as a thought partner before, during, and after the bid to open doors that cannot be unlocked through RFP responses alone.
◎
Ai-Enhanced
Synthesize outcomes from every bid — using AI-assisted debrief tools — to build an institutional knowledge base that sharpens competitive positioning, pricing strategy, and future pursuit quality.
◎
Ecosystem & Partner Strategy
Map and activate the regional partner ecosystem (hyperscalers, system integrators, government entities, accelerators) to co-create solutions that amplify Globant's reach and credibility in MEA.
◎
Thought Leadership & Brand Amplification
Represent Globant at regional forums, GITEX, Seamless, and industry events — publishing and presenting insights that build brand authority and generate inbound opportunities.

What We'Re Looking For
▸ 10+ Years in Tech Consulting / IT Services
Proven track record in pre-sales, solutioning, or business development at a global technology services firm.
▸ MEA Market Fluency
Deep understanding of GCC enterprise dynamics, procurement cycles, and cultural business norms across UAE, KSA, and the broader region.
▸ AI & Digital Native Mindset
Hands-on familiarity with AI, GenAI, and digital transformation solution architectures — not just at the buzzword level.
▸ Executive Communication
Exceptional written and verbal communication — can present with conviction to a C-suite audience and adapt the story on the fly.
▸ Cross-functional Orchestrator
Comfortable leading without direct authority — can align diverse studios, GX, and delivery teams toward a unified pursuit goal.
▸ Commercial Acumen
Experience shaping commercial models, pricing strategy, and deal structures for complex, multi-phase technology engagements.
▸ Bi-lingual Advantage
Arabic language proficiency is a meaningful differentiator for building trust with government and enterprise stakeholders.
▸ Industry Depth (at least one)
BFSI, Government & Public Sector, Energy & Utilities, Retail, or Healthcare in the MEA context.
Why This Role, Why Now
The Middle East is at an inflection point — national transformation agendas, sovereign AI investments, and enterprise digitization are creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a partner with Globant's profile.
The Solutions Director will not inherit a mature playbook; they will write it — shaping how Globant competes, wins, and grows in one of the world's most strategically significant technology markets.
*"This is not a role for someone who executes a process.
It's for someone who builds the process — and keeps reinventing it."*
