Job Description:
The Product Sales Operations Specialist will support the product sales motion for priority Parsons offerings by helping translate product capabilities into qualified opportunities, customer-ready messaging, demonstrations, pricing inputs, channel strategies, and pursuit support.
This role is not a traditional business development or capture position. It is a product-focused sales role designed to complement BD, Growth, and P&L teams by bringing specialized product knowledge, repeatable sales discipline, and commercialization support to products and productized solutions.
The Product Sales Operations Specialist will work across Product Management, BD, Engineering, Pricing, Contracts, Marketing, and Business Unit product owners to help move priority products from “available capability” to “packaged, positioned, sellable, technically ready, and scalable mission offering.”
What You'll Be Doing:
Product Sales Execution
Support the product sales motion for priority Parsons products and productized solutions.
Support qualified product opportunities by customer problem, buyer, use case, funding path, technical fit, competitive position, and likelihood to close.
Partner with BD and Capture teams to position products within major pursuits, campaigns, IDIQs, OTAs, CSOs, marketplaces, partner channels, and direct customer opportunities.
Support operations to maintain product-qualified pipeline inputs and help track movement from early interest to qualified opportunity, proposal support, award, adoption, and expansion.
Customer and Buyer Engagement
Support customer conversations, product briefings, demonstrations, discovery sessions, and solutioning discussions.
Capture buyer feedback, objections, feature requests, pricing concerns, contracting friction, and competitive intelligence.
Work with Product Management and Product Engineering to ensure customer feedback informs roadmap, packaging, technical readiness, and commercialization priorities.
Sales Enablement and GTM Support
Develop and maintain product sales materials, including product briefs, qualification guides, demo scripts, sales plays, battlecards, customer use cases, FAQs, and approved messaging.
Help BD, capture, account teams, and channel partners on to identify, qualify, and sell priority products.
Commercial Discipline
Work with Commercial Pricing, Product Finance, Contracts, and Product Management to support pricing and packaging development.
Provide feedback on willingness to pay, buyer perception of value, competitive pricing, discount requests, and contracting constraints.
Support deal reviews for product opportunities to ensure the offering is positioned, priced, and structured consistently with product strategy and margin expectations.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, national security, technology, or a related field; OR a minimum of 5 years of equivalent experience may be considered.
Minimum of 3+ years of experience in product sales, solution sales, business development, capture support, sales engineering, product management, or commercialization.
