This role plays a critical part in the end-to-end customer journey-from territory planning and demand generation through AI Transformation Workshop design and facilitation, business case development, executive alignment, and late-stage deal orchestration. You will guide customers through analytical, data-driven value conversations and hands-on AI transformation workshops that accelerate decision-making and build confidence in the feasibility of targeted outcomes. You will serve as a trusted advisor to executive stakeholders, helping them articulate current-state challenges, quantify improvement opportunities, envision AI-enabled target operating models, and connect those outcomes to Coupa s capabilities, including Coupa Compose, AI agents, and intelligent orchestration. The ideal candidate brings a blend of consulting rigor, SaaS or transformation experience, executive presence, workshop facilitation expertise, and the curiosity required to navigate ambiguous environments. 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.
