You will combine deep product knowledge, consultative discovery, solution architecture, rapid prototyping, and persuasive storytelling to build customer confidence and advance sales opportunities.

This role is aligned to a sales incentive plan based on individual and/or team sales results, such as revenue, bookings, or unit sales.

Design and build compelling demonstrations, mini-applications, proof of concepts, and rapid prototypes based on customer use cases to validate feasibility and showcase solution value.

Create detailed product, solution design, integration, and implementation specifications for complex customer environments, in collaboration with product, engineering, services, and delivery teams.

Provide portfolio-level guidance on solution fit, interoperability, deployment options, data requirements, integrations, security, scalability, and implementation considerations.

Lead responses to RFIs and RFPs, ensuring that proposed solutions are accurate, differentiated, commercially viable, and aligned with customer requirements.

Identify technical and business risks, gaps, objections, and competitive considerations early in the sales process, then coordinate the right resources to address them.

Serve as a trusted advisor to prospective customers by providing product capability assessments, solution validation, and practical guidance on adoption and implementation.

Collaborate with sales, product management, engineering, professional services, and partner teams to shape market-ready solutions and support successful handoffs after the sale.

Capture customer and market feedback to influence portfolio strategy, product roadmaps, demonstration assets, enablement materials, and go-to-market priorities.

Support trade shows, industry events, customer forums, and other strategic sales activities, including travel to customer locations as needed.

Have you got what it takes?

5+ years of experience in pre-sales engineering, solution consulting, solution architecture, or a comparable client-facing role supporting complex enterprise software sales.

Demonstrated success supporting a portfolio of products or solutions and connecting multiple capabilities into a cohesive customer solution.

Strong business and technical discovery skills, with the ability to translate ambiguous requirements into clear solution designs and compelling demonstrations.

Experience creating and delivering product demonstrations, proof of concepts, rapid prototypes, and technical presentations for business, technical, and executive audiences.

Working knowledge of enterprise software architecture, cloud and on-premises deployment models, APIs, data integration, databases, security, and scalability concepts.

Excellent written, verbal, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex concepts clearly and persuasively.

Ability to manage multiple concurrent opportunities, prioritize effectively, and deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Strong problem-solving, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills, with a consultative and customer-focused approach.

Proven ability to partner effectively across sales, product, engineering, professional services, and customer teams.
