Job description

Pre-Sales Engineer | Leeds (Hybrid) | Up to £60,000 + bonus + benefits

We're working with a growing technology business that is transforming how some of the UK's largest retailers manage their end-to-end logistics.

Their SaaS platform brings together complex logistics data and processes, giving retailers greater visibility, control and automation across their supply chain. The platform also uses predictive analytics and AI to identify opportunities for optimisation and flag potential issues before they happen.

The Role

You'll act as the technical and product expert throughout the sales process, working with prospective customers to understand their requirements and demonstrate how the platform can solve their challenges.

You'll be involved in:

• Delivering engaging product demonstrations to prospective customers
• Supporting RFPs, tenders and sales opportunities
• Working with customers to understand their technical and business requirements
• Answering technical and integration-focused questions
• Working closely with Sales to shape solutions and proposals
• Creating and developing sales collateral, documentation and user guides
• Helping establish and improve the company's Pre-Sales processes and approach
• Working closely with Product and Technology teams to feed customer requirements back into the platform

Why this role?

This isn't a case of joining an established Pre-Sales function and simply delivering demos.

You'll have the opportunity to influence things such as demo strategy, collateral, documentation, processes and the overall Pre-Sales approach.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone with strong Pre-Sales / Solutions Consulting experience, ideally within a SaaS, analytics, BI or data-related environment.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven experience in a Pre-Sales / Solutions Consultant role
• Experience supporting RFPs and complex sales processes
• A technical background and the confidence to discuss integrations and technical requirements with customers
• Experience working with SaaS, BI, analytics or data platforms
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Experience creating sales collateral, documentation or other Pre-Sales materials
• A proactive approach and the ability to work in an environment where you can help build and improve processes

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Pre-Sales professional who wants more ownership and influence.
