Core Responsibilities

• Analysis & Insight Development: Turn raw data into clear, structured analyses tied to specific business decisions.
• Deal Scoping: Scope technical requirements and develop supporting pricing or proposal materials, identifying feasibility issues early in the sales cycle.
• Demo & Presentation Delivery: Build and deliver product demonstrations and analytical presentations, including to senior and executive audiences, and adapt in real time when findings are challenged.
• Data Validation: Run correlation and variance analysis to validate our data against a prospect's own data, and clearly explain methodologies to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Cross-Functional Handoff: Work closely with sales, customer success, and product teams, ensuring a smooth transition of documentation once a deal closes.

Core Skills & Experience

• 5+ years in a technical, pre-sales, or solutions-consulting role—sales engineering, solutions consulting, technical account management, or a similarly analytical customer-facing role.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills: comfortable working directly with data (spreadsheets, SQL or similar query languages, BI/reporting tools) and able to catch errors before they reach customers (strong attention to detail).
• Strong presentation and communication skills, with experience adapting technical material for different audiences, including senior stakeholders.

Nice to Have
