- Demonstrated success in shaping opportunity direction and collaborating with AEs to improve win probability
- Comfortable coaching others and elevating team performance through informal mentorship
- Deep curiosity about public sector transformation, with awareness of trends in digital service delivery, procurement, and funding
Key responsibilities:
- Lead “Art of the Possible” and Vision Demonstrations for top-of-funnel opportunities across government verticals
- Drive discovery efforts to uncover buyer context, language, objections, and mission priorities
- Craft and deliver narratives that simplify complexity and align to stakeholder pain points and aspirations
- Collaborate with Product Marketing to evolve demo frameworks, language, and positioning
- Partner with AEs on opportunity strategy, including stage progression, persona coverage, and qualification
- Capture insights from field interactions to inform product, sales enablement, and marketing
- Contribute to team demo playbooks, reusable messaging assets, and new hire onboarding initiatives
- Serve as a mentor and thought partner to Associate and Solution Advisors
How success is measured:
- Vision demonstrations consistently result in Stage 1 to Stage 2 progression, contributing to pipeline movement and Government Experience Cloud qualification
- Demo narratives are consistently tailored, high-impact, and aligned to buyer persona, agency context, and public sector priorities
- AEs proactively request your support based on value delivered and past results
- Feedback from AEs, Product Marketing, and Sales Leadership reflects your influence on early-stage messaging and strategic positioning
- You identify patterns and recurring objections that lead to improvements in demo methodology, messaging assets, or qualification strategy
