Your Role

As a Business Development Executive / Experienced Customer Partner based in Courbevoie, France, you will act as the single accountable growth leader focused on opening and acquiring net-new enterprise accounts. Bringing a strategic “hunter” mindset, you will position the full breadth of Kyndryl’s portfolio across Kyndryl Consult and Managed Services to establish beachhead engagements and build multi-million-dollar relationship expansion pathways.

Operating as a trusted advisor to C-suite and executive IT stakeholders, you will mobilize cross-functional teams spanning Consulting, Architecture, Delivery, Practices, and hyperscaler alliance partners. You will own the strategic sales journey from demand generation and early opportunity shaping through negotiation, commercial structuring, and deal closure.

What You Will Do

• Hunt, qualify, and capture high-value net-new enterprise logos, establishing initial beachhead engagements and driving land-and-expand strategies.
• Build and cultivate trusted relationships with CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and business leaders, positioning Kyndryl as an essential transformation partner.
• Lead priority pursuits from early opportunity shaping through proposal development, contract negotiation, and closure.
• Orchestrate multidisciplinary teams—including Kyndryl Consult, Solutioning, Practices, and hyperscaler partners—to deliver integrated, high-value client propositions.
• Drive disciplined commercial governance, managing pipeline progression, revenue signings, margins, and accurate forecasting via CRM.
• Translate customer strategic business agendas into actionable account roadmaps and funded technology transformation initiatives.
• Leverage Kyndryl Bridge, advanced AI capabilities, and strategic partner ecosystems to build differentiated, commercially viable solutions.

• Proven success in net-new enterprise account acquisition ("hunting") and delivering profitable revenue growth, signings, and margin management.
• Demonstrated ability to engage, advise, and negotiate with C-level executives (CIO, CTO, CISO) across business and technical domains.
