[Hiring] Onboarding Specialist @thread

Role Description

We’re looking for a Sales Engineer to be the technical backbone of our sales team. You’ll partner closely with Account Executives to run high-quality demos, handle deep technical questions, and guide MSPs through evaluation. You’ll also lead security and compliance reviews for larger partners. This role requires both direct MSP industry experience and strong working knowledge of AI systems. You need to understand how MSP service desks operate today and how AI can transform them. You are the technical voice in the deal.

You help MSPs understand not just that Thread works — but exactly how it works in their environment, and why AI changes their service desk.

What You'll Do

• Run live, product-first demos tailored to MSP workflows
• Show how Thread fits into real service desk environments
• Translate AI capabilities into clear, practical outcomes
• Answer questions on integrations, APIs, and architecture
• Guide prospects through deployment and rollout
• Support partners through technical validation
• Lead security reviews and technical due diligence
• Explain data handling and system architecture clearly
• Partner with AEs to progress and close deals
• Remove technical blockers and improve win rates
• Train internal teams on product and AI positioning
• Bring structured feedback to Product and Engineering

Qualifications

• MSP experience (service desk, PSA tools, or vendor ecosystem)
• Strong understanding of applied AI (automation, copilots, agents)
• Experience in a Sales Engineer or Solutions Engineer role
• Ability to run demos and handle technical objections
• Strong communication across technical and non-technical audiences

Requirements

• Higher close rates on technical deals
• Prospects clearly understand value and implementation
• Fast, confident handling of security reviews
• A more technically capable sales team

Benefits

• Partners reach a verified first production result sooner
• Sustain meaningful use after onboarding
• Operate their agreed workflows without recurring specialist dependence
• Explain the service outcome they achieved
• Preserve safety, trust, and quality as adoption expands
