Your Responsibilities: a bit about you
A Solutions Engineer at Salesforce plays a crucial role in developing innovative solutions for complex technical and digital marketing requirements. This role collaborates with sales, services, product, business consulting, as well as prospective and existing customers. Meeting with C-level, Director-level, management-level and user-level customer contacts, the Solutions Engineer must be able to easily adapt to each type of conversation, whether it’s strategic and high-level, or highly detailed and technical.

Solution Development: Work closely with business stakeholders and technical resources to uncover technical challenges and goals relating to digital marketing, to then develop a solution and roadmap for the success of the customer.

This includes the delivery of executive-level software demonstrations, construction of future state customer journey strategies, and developing long term IT roadmaps.
Deliver: Deliver an engaging and coherent presentation that connects complex technology to C-level audiences with persuasive story-telling. No dancing required, occasionally some jazz-hands help though.
