SMB Solutions Engineer, Client Management
About the role
The Asana Client Management (ACM) role focuses on driving customer acquisition and accelerating revenue growth through strategic sales and Asana platform expertise. This role bridges the gap between the voice of business and the voice of the customer, acting as a trusted advisor to agency leaders. The SE role owns the technical side of the deal, showing agency leaders how their teams will leverage AI Teammates to optimize workflows.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical side of the ACM sales cycle: demos, workflow configuration, and solution design for agency and professional services buyers.
- Build vertical-specific demo environments for primary verticals—Advertising & Marketing, Media, Digital Services, Design & Creative, and PR—that let AEs compress time-to-proof on every call.
- Translate customer pain into specific product configurations; show a Head of Delivery exactly how the Notice/Recommend/Approve loop works for their brief intake process, not a generic walkthrough.
- Drive AI Teammate activation post-close; your job doesn't end at the signature—you make sure the portal has real client activity and AIT consumption is running before you hand off.
- Partner with AEs on multi-stakeholder deals where the technical design or workflow architecture determines whether the deal closes.
- Gather customer feedback and feed it directly to the product team; you're one of the first people in the field with this product and what you hear matters.
- Build scaled assets—demo environments, click-throughs, configuration guides—that enable the broader team to carry the technical story without SE support on every deal.
