What will I be doing?

As a Pre-Sales Lead you are responsible for understanding the deep-rooted needs of prospective and existing customers and designing tailored solutions to help them meet their target outcomes. You will play a crucial role in the technical side of a sale, evangelising the Kaluza platform and applying a consultative approach to helping customers move away from legacy systems.

• Tender & Proposal Excellence: Provide key technical and strategic input into the creation of tender responses (RFPs) and customer proposals.
• Product Advocacy: Act as a bridge between the market and Kaluza's internal Product and Engineering teams. You will advocate for client needs to be incorporated into our roadmap while ensuring solutions remain aligned with our core platform capabilities.
• Commercial Negotiation: Manage scope negotiation as part of the overall contract negotiation with new clients, ensuring a balance between client value and delivery feasibility.
• Market Intelligence: Bring strategic recommendations back to the company, providing insights on legacy solutions and current market trends to help shape our Sales and Product strategies.
• Measurable Outcomes: Advise clients on how Kaluza can deliver measurable outcomes, using a data-driven approach to prove the value of our platform.
