About the Role

We're seeking a Sales Engineer to act as the tech wingman for our software vendors sales team. This role is equal parts technical expertise and executive-calibre communication.

• Communicate with confidence across all levels of the organisation, from developers to executives with particular focus on C-suite and decision-makers.
• Assist in the planning of implementation (Sales handoff) and liaise with delivery teams.
• Remain engaged post-sale as a knowledge steward, ensuring promises translate into delivered value.
• Travel occasionally to meet clients, attend strategic sessions, and represent the product at conferences.

Must-Haves

• 10+ years of experience in Financial Services (banking strongly preferred).
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent proven experience).
• Highly articulate, personable, and confident in both one-on-one and group settings.
• Proven ability to engage, present, and influence at Executive level.
• Exceptional ability to simplify complexity and communicate in plain language.
• Strong technical foundation in software (SaaS/cloud, APIs, integrations, workflows).
• Skilled in using diagrams and models to conceptualize and explain solutions.
• Naturally curious, detail-oriented, and unafraid to ask questions.
• Hands-on approach willing to roll up sleeves and get stuck in.
• Track record in pre-sales, solution engineering, or customer-facing technical roles.
• Must be based in North America (U.S. preferred, ideally South Atlantic region for proximity to Charlotte, NC).
• Willingness to travel occasionally.

Nice-to-Haves

• Cloud platform knowledge (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Relevant certifications (AWS, Azure, TOGAF, security).
• Familiarity with CRM, sales enablement tools, or structured pre-sales processes.
• Experience bridging sales and delivery teams in enterprise environments.
