Our mission is to unleash employee productivity without compromising security by ensuring every identity is authentic, every application sign‑in is secure, and every device is trusted. We innovated the market‑leading enterprise password manager and pioneered Extended Access Management, a new cybersecurity category built for the way people and AI agents work today. As one of the most loved brands in cybersecurity, we take a human‑centric approach in everything from product strategy to user experience. Over 175,000 businesses and millions of people trust us to provide seamless, secure access to their most critical information.

Role Summary

As a Solutions Engineer for the SMB segment, you’ll be a trusted technical advisor, driving revenue growth, improving win rates, and accelerating deal velocity through strategic technical guidance. Partnering closely with Account Executives, you’ll position 1Password’s multi‑product solution, spanning all three core offerings, to meet each customer’s needs, often through leading and managing proof‑of‑concept (POC) engagements that validate technical success criteria and support adoption.

Responsibilities

• Navigate high‑volume, fast‑paced SMB sales cycles, uncovering opportunities to position the full product suite and applying frameworks like MEDDPICC to qualify opportunities, address requirements, and influence decision‑makers.
• Support customers with compliance needs by responding to security questionnaires, RFP/RFI’s, and vendor registration requirements.
• Collaborate with Sales Enablement, Product, Marketing, and Customer Experience to create resources, enablement materials, and customer‑facing content that drive adoption, improve close rates, and deliver measurable business impact.
• Serve as the primary technical advisor for SMB sales opportunities within the Go‑to‑market team.
• Partner with Account Executives to deliver scalable, impactful, technical support throughout the sales cycle.
• Recommend and position tailored product solutions that align with SMB customer needs, goals, and common use cases.
• Proactively identify potential technical risks in deals and collaborate with Product and Support teams to resolve them.
• Collaborate with Sales Enablement and Product Marketing to create and improve internal resources, such as objection handling guides, demo frameworks, and playbooks.
• Deliver product education to customers, such as videos or Guru cards, focusing on accessibility for non‑technical or resource‑constrained teams.
• Respond to vendor/risk assessments, RFP/RFI’s, and security questionnaires, and other technical documentation requests as needed.

Qualifications

• At least 2 years of experience in a technical customer‑facing role (B2B SaaS, preferably in SMB segment or similar).
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly and confidently to a wide range of audiences, including non‑technical stakeholders.
• Strong presentation, communication, and storytelling skills, making complex information sound simple and relevant.
• Detail‑oriented with a strong sense of ownership and commitment to quality, even in high‑volume environments.
• Enthusiasm for learning, testing, and problem‑solving. You are curious and dig in when a customer has a challenge.
• Strong time‑management skills with the ability to effectively prioritize competing tasks and meet deadlines in a fast‑paced, transactional sales environment with multiple concurrent opportunities and products.
• Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced, remote‑first team.
• Open to learning and able to adapt quickly in a fast‑paced environment, working across multiple products and shifting priorities with a flexible and proactive mindset.
• Experience working with SaaS solutions is required; familiarity with the security space and related compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR) is strongly preferred.
• A growth mindset.
• Working knowledge of modern sales qualification frameworks (e.g., MEDDPICC) is preferred. Training and enablement will be provided to deepen expertise as part of ongoing development.
• Maintain expert‑level technical and functional knowledge across all three 1Password core products, enabling you to effectively position integrated solutions.
• Bonus if you’ve used 1Password or another password manager before. Personal experience helps you hit the ground running.

What you can expect

• Primary technical advisor for SMB sales opportunities within the Go‑to‑market team.
• Partner with Account Executives to deliver scalable, impactful technical support throughout the sales cycle.
• Support fast‑paced, high‑volume sales cycle with concise, effective, technical guidance.
• Recommend and position tailored product solutions that align with SMB customer needs, goals, and common use cases.
• Partner with SMB reps to build their confidence in discussing product capabilities and navigating technical conversations, offering support and guidance as needed.
• Proactively identify potential technical risks in deals and collaborate with Product and Support teams to resolve them.
• Collaborate with Sales Enablement and Product Marketing to create and improve internal resources, such as objection handling guides, demo frameworks, and playbooks.
• Deliver product education to customers, such as videos or Guru cards, focusing on accessibility for non‑technical or resource‑constrained teams.
