Architect bespoke enterprise software solutions that demonstrate clear ROI, operational efficiency, and modernized workflow transformation.

• Executive Alliance & Relationship Management: Serve as the primary executive contact for key studio and streaming accounts, acting as the trusted bridge between the client’s executive suite and Skywalker Sound’s internal product and engineering teams.

• Market Strategy & Commercial Intelligence: Synthesize complex media landscape trends, cloud infrastructure shifts, and global platform needs to shape Skywalker Sound’s long-term commercial positioning and product roadmap.

• Executive Presentation & Business Case Delivery: Craft and deliver high-impact commercial pitches, technical deep-dives, and strategic business cases to C-suite and VP-level stakeholders across major global media entities.

• Post-Sales Value Realization: Maintain senior oversight of post-close accounts to ensure successful enterprise-wide implementation, driving long-term retention, feature upgrades, and platform expansion.

Required Qualifications

• Industry Leadership: 15+ years of progressive executive experience within major studio operations, digital media supply chains, global platform delivery, or enterprise media technology deployment.

• Buyer-Side Expertise: A proven track record of evaluating, architecting, selecting, or managing enterprise-scale media software systems, workflows, and vendor partnerships from a major studio or streaming network perspective.

• Commercial & Strategic Acumen: Demonstrated success driving or managing large-scale capital expenditures, multi-million dollar enterprise agreements, or complex, long-cycle technology adoptions with high-stakes operational outcomes.

• Domain Expertise: Mastery of the global media and entertainment ecosystem, with specialized knowledge in digital content mastering, title stewardship, post-production, and global servicing pipelines.

• Technical Fluency: Ability to "talk shop" fluidly with technology directors and chief engineers. Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, API-driven workflows, media asset management (MAM), and professional audio/video delivery systems.

• Executive Presence & Communication: Exceptional storytelling and negotiation skills, with a demonstrated ability to align creative stakeholders, technical engineers, and corporate procurement teams toward shared strategic goals.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Communication, Business, or a related field; or equivalent elite-level professional industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Executive Network: An established, high-level "rolodex" of contacts across the technical, operational, and creative leadership teams of major global studios, streaming platforms, and post-production houses.

• Workflow Transformation Expertise: Proven experience leading large teams or sweeping corporate initiatives centered on scaling operations and turning ambiguous technical challenges into streamlined, sustainable outcomes.

• Strategic Frameworks: Familiarity with modern strategic selling methodologies or executive corporate governance structures designed to manage complex, multi-stakeholder deal flows.
