- Articulate complex product capabilities in business terms to C-level, technical, and line-of-business stakeholders.
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to surface customer feedback and influence roadmap prioritization.
- Work with Support and Customer Success to ensure smooth transitions from pre-sale to post-sale engagement.
- Assist with RFPs, technical documentation, and security reviews as part of enterprise procurement cycles.
- Stay up to date on Nitro’s evolving platform and competitive landscape to support effective positioning and objection handling.
Success Criteria:
- Ability to translate business objectives into solution recommendations and quantify value.
- Skilled at building trust and influencing both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- History of conducting large-scale assessments and/or evaluations, including managing expectations, deliverables, and complex systems as well as the teams that support them

- Comfortable leading technical conversations with enterprise IT teams as well as strategic sales discussions with senior business leaders.
- Strong project management and organizational skills to manage multiple pre-sales engagements concurrently.

Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (Sales/Systems Engineer, Solutions Consultant, Technical Account Manager, Pre-Sales Engineer, etc.) within an enterprise SaaS environment.
- Solid understanding of modern IT infrastructure including MS Windows, Azure, Active Directory, SSO/SAML, and REST APIs.
- Hands-on experience with SaaS integrations, cloud deployment models, and pilot implementation processes.
