Sales Engineer

We’re looking for a Sales Engineer/Pre‑Sales professional to lead value‑based engagements across Energy Management or Facilities Management solutions. Partnering closely with Sales, this role shapes deal strategy, quantifies business and financial impact, and supports customers in making confident, outcome‑driven buying decisions. This role is suited to someone with a strong background in energy management, facilities management, or estate‑wide operational environments, who can articulate how technology delivers measurable improvements in cost control, operational efficiency, compliance, and sustainability. Success in this role is defined by value realisation and business outcomes, rather than feature‑led selling. This role plays a critical part in driving new licence revenue, expansion, and long‑term customer value for MRI Energy and the wider MRI platform, supporting customers responsible for managing energy usage, facilities operations, and complex property portfolios.

Core Accountabilities

• Lead value‑based discovery to understand customer objectives, success metrics, constraints, and decision drivers across energy or facilities management use cases.
• Translate operational challenges into clear, quantified value narratives, including cost reduction, efficiency gains, compliance, risk mitigation, and sustainability outcomes.
• Design and deliver strategic, outcome‑led demonstrations aligned to energy performance, facilities operations, and estate‑wide optimisation.
• Support the development of credible business cases, including ROI, TCO, and payback, to support internal customer approval processes.
• Act as the senior technical and commercial presales partner on assigned opportunities, from qualification through close, reinforcing disciplined deal progression (e.g. MEDDPICC).
• Anticipate, uncover, and address technical and value‑related objections, particularly in competitive or “no decision” scenarios.
• Position MRI Energy within the broader MRI ecosystem, demonstrating how energy and facilities solutions deliver incremental value together with adjacent MRI products.
• Deliver proofs‑of‑concept that validate solution fit, demonstrate feasibility, and progress opportunities.
• Contribute strategic, value‑focused input into RFPs, tenders, proposals, and sales collateral, clearly differentiating MRI beyond functional capability.
• Collaborate closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure messaging aligns with product direction, roadmap, and go‑to‑market strategy.
• Act as a role model for value‑led presales, contributing to best practice and internal enablement where appropriate.

Experience & Capability

• Proven experience leading complex enterprise presales engagements within software or technology‑enabled services is beneficial.
• Background in Energy Management or Facilities Management, including exposure to estate‑level operations, building performance, or asset‑heavy environments.
• Ability to connect solutions to practical operational outcomes and senior‑level commercial priorities.
• Strong commercial acumen, with experience communicating financial value, ROI, and efficiency gains to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Confidence engaging with and influencing senior decision‑makers.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent opportunities while contributing positively to a high‑performance team.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a clear, structured approach to storytelling and value articulation.

Practical Considerations

• Willingness to travel across EMEA, including occasional international travel.
