• Monitor win/loss data, feedback from clients and delivery teams to iterate on solutions and improve proposal success rates.
• Collaborate with services delivery to ensure the hand‑off from sales to implementation is smooth and ensures solutions proposed are practical, scalable and deliverable.
• Drive innovation in how we package services (offerings, pricing, delivery models) for the mid‑market to support growth and profitability.

Job Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a Senior Engineer or Sales / Solutions Engineer for managed services solutions, with a focus on cloud, security, and other emerging technologies.
• Industry certifications preferred, especially MSCSE, CCNE, CISSP.
