Your Impact:

OpenText is seeking a senior-level Executive Briefing Strategist to lead strategic executive engagements for our most important clients and growth opportunities.

This role serves as a strategic advisor to account teams and senior leaders , bringing an outside-in perspective to elevate thinking, uncover gaps, and transform account priorities into meaningful executive conversations that strengthen relationships and accelerate business outcomes.

The Executive Briefing Strategist operates at the intersection of client strategy, executive engagement, Account-Based Marketing (ABM), and revenue growth . They will partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to understand the client, the opportunity, the relationships, and what needs to change—then architect the executive engagement most likely to move the relationship and business forward.

This is not an event management role. It requires executive presence, business acumen, strategic curiosity, and the confidence to challenge conventional thinking . The right candidate will ask the questions others have not asked, identify gaps in account strategy and executive relationships, and help teams move beyond presentations and product conversations toward meaningful dialogue around the client's most important priorities.

Architect Executive Conversations

- Prepare executives with the strategic context, relationship dynamics, business objectives, and desired outcomes needed to engage effectively.
- Facilitate executive discussions and working sessions when appropriate.
- Partner across Sales, Field Marketing, Customer Success, Industry, Business Value Consulting, Product Marketing, Partner Marketing, Executive Leadership, EBC, and Global Command Center teams to deliver one connected client experience.

Connect Engagement to Growth

- Use executive engagement to strengthen relationships, open new lines of business, accelerate opportunities, and uncover expansion potential.
- Identify relationship and opportunity gaps that should inform continued account engagement.
