Role Description
This is a dedicated Solution Sales Engineer role. You will be a trusted advisor to our prospects, the industry expert on our new business deals, and the bridge between Sales, Implementation and Product.
-
Account Executives lead the discovery call and overview demo, then bring you in to take the conversation deeper.
-
Partner with Account Executives through close, allowing them to focus on running the deal while you prove how Revenova solves the prospect's problems.
-
Stay with each deal through long sales cycles, often three to six months, acting as an advisor, not just a technical resource.
-
Ensure scope is clear before signing so Implementation can deliver on time.
-
Bring insights from prospects back to Product to help shape the roadmap.
What You'll Do
-
Lead in-depth, consultative sessions after the overview demo to uncover the root cause of each prospectβs operational and business pain.

Turn findings into a value-based story and deliver tailored, in-depth demos in the prospect's own language and industry context.
-
Partner with Account Executives on deal strategy, technical positioning and next steps from the overview demo through close.
-
Lead the preparation of Objectives Findings for the prospect highlighting what we learned, path to signature, assessment of critical issues and impact, and how Revenova will uniquely solve those challenges.
-
Respond quickly to late-stage needs, including follow-up demos, executive presentations, and SOW and scope questions.
-
Define accurate scope for each deal and provide a clean handoff to the implementation team.
-
Track competitors' products and positioning to ensure every demo addresses the alternatives a prospect is weighing.
-
Serve as the bridge between Sales, Implementation and Product, sharing prospect feedback, scope details and market trends with each team.
-
Help Account Executives build product and industry knowledge through enablement and coaching.
Qualifications

-
Clear communication with audiences from operations staff to executives.
