About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Engineering, or equivalent, is required.
  • At least 5 years of experience in sales engineering or customer-facing presales technical roles is required, preferably in a direct sales environment.
  • Strong hands-on expertise in networking, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity technologies is required.
  • Demonstrated ability to run end-to-end value-selling motions, including discovery, diagnosis, ROI/TCO quantification, proof of value, executive business cases, and value-realization handoff, is required.
  • Experience designing and conducting proof-of-value engagements with outcome-based success criteria and telemetry-driven valuation is required.
  • Working proficiency with value-based selling frameworks such as MEDDICC/MEDDPICC, Challenger, or SPIN, including economic-buyer access and clear metrics and decision criteria, is required.
  • Practical experience using AI tools in presales, such as LLM copilots, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, summarization, translation, and data analysis, is required to accelerate discovery notes, RFP/RFI responses, demo storylines, competitive battlecards, and proof-of-value telemetry analysis.
  • Strong operational discipline with SFDC and presales processes is required, along with a track record of meeting or exceeding targets and improving win rates through value-based approaches and AI-enabled productivity.
  • Communication and executive storytelling skills are required to simplify complex technical concepts and connect them to business and financial outcomes.
  • Ability to operate in a dynamic startup environment with a proactive, hands-on approach to problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration is required.

Responsibilities

  • Lead customer value discovery with Inside Sales Representatives to uncover critical customer pains, desired outcomes, and decision criteria, and translate them into measurable hypotheses, KPIs, and executive win themes that guide sales strategy.
  • Diagnose customers’ current state and design the desired future-state architecture, mapping Infoblox capabilities to quantified business outcomes, risk reduction, and time to value.
  • Build executive-ready ROI/TCO models and qualified business cases that articulate economic impact, cost of inaction, productivity gains, and operational risk mitigation.
  • Plan and execute proof-of-value engagements with clear outcome-based success criteria; baseline current performance and telemetry, and validate value hypotheses using agreed metrics.
  • Drive a mutual evaluation plan with the account team and champion, aligning to MEDDICC/MEDDPICC elements: metrics, economic buyer, decision criteria/process, paper process, identified pain, champion, and competition.
  • Present value narratives to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including C-level audiences, using storytelling that connects architecture choices to financial and operational results.
  • Differentiate against competitors using value-based messaging that emphasizes measurable outcomes, total economic impact, and unique risk coverage rather than feature parity.
  • Collaborate on pricing and packaging anchored in delivered value; recommend right-sized scopes, phased value realization, and reference architectures that accelerate adoption.
  • Maintain rigorous SFDC hygiene and cadence by documenting value hypotheses, proof-of-value success criteria, metrics status, economic-buyer access, and next-best actions throughout the sales cycle.
  • Capture validated outcomes and customer references, and contribute quantified value stories, templates, ROI calculators, and reusable playbook assets to the field.
  • Use AI-enabled presales workflows for account research, call-note summarization, action-item extraction, competitive analysis, RFP/RFI drafting, demo/storyline generation, and proof-of-value telemetry analysis tied to value metrics.
  • Build and maintain reusable AI prompt libraries, templates, and governed knowledge bases grounded in approved content, and refine prompts for accuracy and tone.
  • Enable the field by sharing best practices, AI use cases, reusable assets, and lessons learned that improve response speed, deal quality, and cycle time.
  • During the first 90 days, map systems and stakeholders and establish AI-assisted value-discovery guides, an approved prompt library grounded in corporate content, and standard proof-of-value success criteria and dashboards for key segments.
  • By six months, work autonomously in sales engagements and technical discussions, conduct proof-of-concept/proof-of-value engagements independently, deliver multiple quantified business cases and proof-of-value engagements validated against baseline metrics, and improve proposal/RFP turnaround and MEDDICC completeness through AI workflows.
  • By one year, own the domain, mentor new team members, recommend product features and enhancements, speak at webinars and marketing events and/or write technical blogs, meet or exceed annual targets, advance value-selling excellence, codify AI-enabled presales practices, and capture customer outcome stories that improve win rates and shorten cycle times.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in a direct sales environment is preferred.
