• Prepare written responses to RFPs, RFIs and security questionnaires in coordination with product, legal and delivery teams.
• Support proof-of-concept engagements; document outcomes and feed learnings back into the pre-sales playbook.

Partner and event support

• Support channel and technology partners in pre-sales engagements: provide product demonstrations and technical guidance, build their confidence in positioning the solution, and assist on partner-led opportunities when additional pre-sales depth is required.
• Support the business at industry events and trade shows: deliver product demonstrations for event audiences, engage prospects and clients on-site with relevant use cases, and document leads and follow-up actions promptly after each event.

Asset development and enablement

• Develop and maintain reusable pre-sales materials: demo scripts, solution blueprints, proposal modules, competitive battle cards and ROI templates.
• Stay current on product updates, competitive landscape and industry trends; share insights with the broader sales team.
• Contribute to the onboarding of new team members on product and solution knowledge.

Collaboration and reporting

• Work closely with the sales lead and AD Pre-Sales to align on opportunity strategy and solution approach.
