The Impact of a Sr. Strategic Value Advisory Services Manager at Coupa:

 

The Sr. Strategic Value Advisory Services Manager is a customer-facing strategic consultant who partners with account executives and solution advisory to lead value-focused engagements for large enterprise and upper–mid-market organizations (typically F2000). You will work across the sales lifecycle—from early demand generation through deep discovery, business case development, executive alignment, and late-stage deal execution.

You will guide account teams with structured analysis, compelling storytelling, and a value-first lens that accelerates customer confidence and decision-making.

 

This is an individual contributor role requiring strong analytical skills, executive communication, and the ability to navigate ambiguous environments with creativity and independence.
