• Develop and maintain a repository of reusable pre-sales materials (compliance matrices, architectures, diagrams, FAQs, templates) to improve speed and consistency.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Serve as the primary technical contact throughout the pre-sales cycle, ensuring smooth handover to delivery after deal closure.
• Provide product and market feedback to Engineering and Product teams to influence roadmap direction.

Product, Market & Technical Expertise

• Maintain deep understanding of nybl’s AI/ML, analytics, automation, and industrial solutions and how they integrate into client architectures.
• Conduct competitor and market analysis to position nybl’s offerings effectively.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or similar technical discipline.
