Your Mission: 

We are evolving how we sell. As we sharpen our ICP and move upmarket, Sales Engineering is no longer just a post-discovery support function; it is a critical driver of deal quality, demo experience, and ultimately, revenue.

Your mission is to build and lead a high-performing Sales Engineering team that actively helps win deals. You will operate as a hands-on player-coach, stepping directly into strategic opportunities to elevate demos, shape deal strategy, and improve close rates. At the same time, you will scale the function, raising the bar on performance, building repeatable processes, and strengthening how we partner with Sales, Product, and Product Marketing.

This role sits at the center of Sales, Product, and Customer Success, with direct impact on how we position value to Mid-Market and Enterprise customers. You will report into Sales leadership and collaborate closely with AEs, PMM, and Product teams. This is a highly collaborative role that requires strong presence during core working hours. Strong preference for candidates based in Toronto or Utah.

What You’ll Do: 

• Increase win rates: Improve demos, objection handling, and value positioning to drive stronger deal outcomes
• Be a player-coach: Step into high-impact deals, run demos, and coach AEs/SEs in real time
• Elevate demo quality: Build repeatable, compelling, and use-case-driven demo frameworks tied to business value
• Raise team performance: Coach the team on discovery, storytelling, and technical depth while setting a high bar for execution
• Build and scale the team: Hire and develop strong SEs to support Mid-Market and Enterprise growth
• Improve sales execution: Identify friction in the sales cycle and implement scalable process improvements
• Stay close to product: Maintain deep product fluency and translate features into clear customer value
• Influence roadmap: Bring structured field insights to Product and PMM to improve positioning and UX
  
  

Who We're Looking For:

• Experienced SE leader: 3+ years in Sales Engineering / Solutions Engineering, with 1+ years of management experience in a B2B SaaS environment
• Player-coach operator: Hands-on in deals with a proven track record of improving win rates, elevating demo quality, and driving revenue impact across Mid-Market and Enterprise segments
• Strategic builder: Able to lead the strategy, planning, and execution of the Sales Engineering function while building scalable processes and raising the performance bar
• High standards: Sets and enforces a high bar for demo quality, discovery, and technical storytelling across the team
• Technical + commercial translator: Strong ability to turn technical complexity into clear, compelling, customer-facing narratives that drive business value
• Team leader: Credible, respected leader who can coach, develop, and inspire a high-performing team
• AI-forward mindset: Actively leverages AI to improve workflows, demos, and team productivity; brings a strong point of view on how AI can enhance Sales Engineering
• Builder mentality: Naturally curious and experimental; someone who builds, tests, and iterates
• High energy & communication: Brings urgency, strong presence, and clear communication in both customer-facing and internal settings
• Highly collaborative: Works effectively cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Marketing, and thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment
