AI, Agentic Automation & Enterprise MCP Strategy: - Shape and guide customers' AI and agentic automation journeys. - Advise on the design and adoption of agent-based workflows, human-in-the-loop models, and decision automation frameworks. - Partner with customer executives to define enterprise MCP (Model Context Protocol) strategies. Domain Expertise & Thought Leadership: - Establish yourself as the recognized authority across iPaaS, API Management (APIM), data orchestration, EDI, and AI/Agentic automation. - Represent Workato at industry conferences, customer advisory boards, analyst briefings, and partner events. Requirements: - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience). - 20+ years of technology transformation experience, including integration, middleware, or API management platforms. - 15+ years in an Enterprise Architect, CTO, VP Engineering, or similar senior architecture/leadership role. - Demonstrated experience advising C-level executives on technology strategy and enterprise transformation. - Travel to client sites up to 50%. - Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Business, or related field (preferred). - Deep knowledge of key enterprise applications: Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, ServiceNow, SAP, Oracle. - Experience with cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, and GCP.
