CTO - Quantum Consulting - Senior Consultant

Role Purpose

• • Identify, define and validate quantum use cases in your domain (e.g., finance, healthcare, supply chain) with ROI, feasibility, scalability.
  • Deep dive: analyze customer data, constraints, business process pain points; map them to quantum / hybrid quantum-classical solutions.
  • Lead presales: craft proposals, solution architectures, cost/benefit models; respond to RFPs; differentiate quantum offerings.
  • Prepare and deliver demos & prototypes at the innovation center to showcase capabilities to clients / prospects.
  • Work closely with engineering/research teams to ensure technical viability of proposed solutions, manage risk.
  • Evangelize quantum internally and externally: workshops, whitepapers, speaking engagements
    • • unicating technical material to non-technical stakeholders.
      • Proven track record of leading deals, demos, customer engagements.

• • Qualifications / Skills:

  • • Deep experience in consulting / solution architecture / presales or domain expertise.
    • Good understanding of quantum computing paradigms, algorithmic possibilities, current limitations.
    • Good business acumen; ability to quantify business value; skilled in comm
