Salary
💰 $188,000 - $235,000 per year
About the role
- Own the value strategy for complex deals by leading discovery-based sales processes to identify customer pain points and business objectives. Develop custom financial models (TCO, ROI) and defend them against CFO and procurement scrutiny.
- Map as-is workflows to identify inefficiencies and quantify metrics. Standardize advanced modeling methodologies (scenario-based, risk-adjusted) and build repeatable process frameworks for specific industries or functions.
- Lead multi-threaded value programs that extend beyond individual deals. Create prioritization frameworks for the team to focus the organization on the highest-impact paths.
- Provide informal coaching and share best practices across the team to raise the collective bar. Partner seamlessly with GTM and Sales Engineers (SEs) on deal strategy and sponsorship creation.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in value engineering, management consulting, or software sales, with a track record of driving complex deal strategy
- Deep experience in financial modeling, specifically developing custom business cases that detail the value of complex software solutions
- Proven ability to stay effective under ambiguity and adjust value narratives quickly based on customer feedback and shifting deal dynamics
- Ability to guide teams on when to pivot approaches and teach others how to unblock value engagements with methodology when resources are limited
- Demonstrated ability to identify patterns from CXO conversations to innovate and pilot new solutions that establish the team as a trusted advisor
- Extensive experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Sales Engineering, and gTech, to drive persuasive customer adoption
- Proficiency in mapping as-is workflows to identify inefficiencies and quantify metrics for "above-the-line" executive audiences.
