About the Role
Partner with Account Executives to own the technical win across Middesk's sales cycles, serving as the technical authority to build prospect confidence. Understand business and compliance requirements, map needs to Middesk's platform, run demos, and design integration architectures. Influence product direction by synthesizing prospect feedback and competitive intelligence.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical win by partnering with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle—leading technical discovery, qualifying requirements, and driving deals to close by removing technical objections and building champion confidence.
- Run discovery and solution design by understanding each prospect's onboarding workflows, risk and compliance requirements, and technical environment, then mapping those needs to Middesk's APIs, data products, and verification workflows.
- Deliver compelling demos and presentations by tailoring product demonstrations to each audience—from hands-on API walkthroughs for engineers to business-impact narratives for risk, compliance, and executive stakeholders.
- Lead technical evaluations and proofs of concept by scoping success criteria, supporting prospects through sandbox testing and data evaluations, and translating results into a clear case for Middesk.
- Design integration architectures by advising prospects on scalable, resilient implementation approaches that fit their compliance, risk, and operational needs, especially in high-volume or regulated environments.
- Handle technical diligence by owning responses to RFPs, security questionnaires, and technical deep-dives, and coordinating with internal teams on complex requirements.
- Ensure a clean handoff to post-sales by documenting solution designs, requirements, and commitments so implementation teams can take new customers to production quickly and without surprises.
- Champion the voice of the prospect internally by synthesizing feedback, feature gaps, and competitive intelligence, and collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to sharpen our roadmap and positioning.
