- Develop a deep understanding of the ID5 solution suite and provide field insights to the Product team.
- Lead technical walkthroughs of our solutions and conduct discovery sessions during Sales and RFP stages to assess client needs.
- Help refine and evolve existing Sales Engineering processes and contribute to the improvement of related processes across other ID5 teams.
- Collaborate with Solutions Consulting and Product teams to ensure seamless delivery of complex solutions or product evolutions, providing a smooth client experience.
- Host webinars for prospects and customers on key differentiating topics.
- Lead and support the completion of RFIs, security questionnaires, and the creation of partnership-specific materials (e.g., sales presentations, one-pagers).
- Assist Product Marketing in building competitive analyses and informing product collateral.
- Stay informed on product developments, competitors, industry trends, and emerging technologies to maintain industry expertise.
Key Requirements

- Strong technical depth with the ability to quickly grasp the architecture, functionality, and integration capabilities of our technology.
- Familiarity with web infrastructure and technologies (e.g., client vs. server roles, RESTful APIs).
- Excellent organizational skills and a systems-thinking approach to manage multiple concurrent deals, technical details of integrations, and strategic priorities.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
