Job description

Deployteq is the Dutch leader in marketing automation, with 25 years of experience and billions of messages sent annually for brands such as Transavia, Virgin Media, VodafoneZiggo, Greetz, and the Rijksmuseum. Our platform combines powerful, marketer-friendly automation with our Customer Data Platform (CDP), launched in 2025: a single environment where data and customer journeys come together, from RFM and next-best-offer models to fully personalised cross-channel campaigns. Built to fit your stack, not replace it, with hundreds of integrations across customers' existing IT ecosystems. We are a people-first organisation and part of the global Inspired Thinking Group (ITG). We are growing rapidly, enjoy working collaboratively, and maintain a culture that is accessible, ambitious, and people-focused. Our partners play a key role in that success, and together we win new customers. The Role at a Glance As a Pre-Sales Consultant, you are the driving force behind our commercial conversations. You translate a prospect's needs into a compelling story and a tailored, working demo of our platform and CDP. You act as the bridge between what the customer wants and what the platform can deliver, making complex solutions tangible and easy to understand. This role has been intentionally designed as a hybrid position. Pre-sales is at its core, but you will work closely with, and occasionally independently within, partner management and new business activities. As a close-knit team, we are increasingly adopting a model where we win new customers together with our partners. You will move seamlessly between these areas. As we continue to evolve and grow, this role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity. Not every situation is mapped out in advance. Priorities may shift, customer requirements are not always fully defined, and you will often determine the best route forward yourself. You see this as an opportunity to take ownership and drive progress, not as an obstacle.

What We Offer

• A key role within a growing, hybrid commercial team with short decision-making lines and a high degree of ownership. The freedom to shape your role, ideal for someone who thrives on ambiguity and taking initiative.
• The opportunity to work on a market-leading platform used by well-known brands.
• A competitive salary based on your knowledge and experience, plus a training budget, in-house learning opportunities, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Hybrid working, a performance-related bonus, and a close-knit, sociable team with company events, socials, and plenty of humour.

What You'll Be Doing

• Pre-Sales & Demos You will create technically sound and visually engaging demos tailored to customer use cases, bringing the platform and CDP to life during client discussions.
• Solution Consulting You will translate customer requirements into practical solutions, from data models and customer journeys to integrations with the customer's existing technology stack.
• Partner Management You will collaborate with our partners, provide subject matter expertise throughout their sales processes, and ensure they can confidently position and sell Deployteq.
• New Business You will support the sales team on new opportunities while also taking ownership of your own commercial initiatives to strengthen the pipeline.
• Trusted Advisor You will serve as the subject matter expert for sales, partners, and prospects, effortlessly switching between commercial discussions and technical deep dives.

What You'll Bring

• Comfort with ambiguity: You can work independently, prioritise effectively in an evolving environment, and create structure where it does not yet exist.
• Pre-sales mindset: An affinity with marketing automation, CDPs, data, or related SaaS solutions, along with the ability to demonstrate these effectively and persuasively.
• Technical expertise: The ability to build demos, integrations, or proof of concepts independently, with a strong appreciation for design and storytelling.
• Commercial drive: You are equally comfortable in sales discussions, partner engagements, and technical deep dives.
• Collaborative approach: You work effectively across internal teams, partners, and customers, ensuring everyone stays engaged and aligned.
• Languages: Strong communication skills in both Dutch and English, reflecting our international customer base.

Benefits

We work hard, but we also enjoy having fun. Team activities always give us a great energy boost.

What You Can Expect

• A competitive salary based on your knowledge and experience.
• Regular company events, monthly social gatherings, quarterly team lunches, and sports and board game evenings.
• Plenty of opportunities for personal development, including a training budget, knowledge-sharing sessions, and in-house Deployteq training. Great coffee, fresh fruit, and an extensive lunch provided in our welcoming canteen.
• A centrally located office in a beautiful woodland setting, easily accessible by both public transport and car.
• Attractive additional benefits, including collective health insurance, a pension scheme, 25 days of annual leave (based on a 40-hour working week), a laptop, and travel allowance.
• A wellbeing package, including workshops, podcasts, and one additional day of leave.
• Volunteer days: one additional paid day per year to volunteer for a charitable cause.
