• Lead the pre‑sales process for complex opportunities — understanding customer business and technical objectives, scoping engagements, and building the services business case

• Partner with Account Executives and Sales Engineers to position Professional Services and Advanced Services offerings, methodology, and value — helping them close bigger deals faster and exceed quota

• Build proposals, quotes, and SOWs, increasingly leveraging AI‑enhanced workflows to accelerate turnaround

• Work closely with Professional Services delivery, Support, and Resilience Guardian stakeholders to align pre‑sales scope with post‑sales success

• Own and drive services pipeline, forecasting, and bookings

• Deliver on‑site and remote scoping calls and Path‑to‑Production workshops with Professional Services Specialists

• Ability to travel up to 10% of the time

Experience you'll need

• 5+ years of technical and sales experience, ideally in Professional Services or solution selling
