About The Role

Reporting into our Pre-Sales Lead, you will play a pivotal role in Vitesse’s sales and product development processes. You will partner with our sales, product, and engineering teams to deliver compelling, value-driven demonstrations and technical presentations. You will be responsible for understanding customer needs, positioning our solutions effectively, and driving engagement with prospects and partners. You will also collaborate closely with the product team to establish a continuous feedback loop, aligning current product functionality, upcoming feature releases, and customer requirements to drive product improvements. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, consultative skills, and business acumen to help prospects and customers understand how our platform can solve their unique challenges.

Responsibilities

• Leading discovery sessions to gain a comprehensive understanding of our customers’ needs, business objectives, and internal operations.
• Participating in all stages of the sales lifecycle, including leading pitches, product demonstrations and technical workshops.
• Establishing continuous collaboration and feedback loops with Product Owners to ensure alignment with customer needs and product improvements.
• Working with each product team to ensure feature demos and product collateral support your needs.
• Leveraging your deep functional and technical understanding of our products and their benefits, along with knowledge of our customers, you must be able to:
• Carefully choose which aspects or benefits of our product to highlight/downplay in each customer engagement, ensuring the message resonates, and the customer is not overwhelmed with complexity.
• Propose (in consultation with the Product team) creative uses, adaptations, and customizations of our products to better meet individual customer needs (with a view towards reusability for future customers as well, as much as possible).
• Manage and deliver relevant customer feedback to Product Ownership teams to aid in roadmap planning.
• Work closely with senior stakeholders to define the business value proposition, target audience, and competitive landscape.
• Ensure communications and sales collateral clearly explain the Vitesse value proposition and drive the right level of understanding and performance.
• Contribute to proposal development, working closely with sales and product teams to draft technical responses and customize solutions for potential clients.

Role Requirements

• Ability to demonstrate deep functional and technical understanding of an existing SaaS platform operating in the treasury, claims management, business card or high-value payments markets.
• Experience delivering value-centric presentations (virtually and in-person) directly to key decision makers.
• Experience working closely with sales teams and participating in all aspects of the sales cycle.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and key decision makers.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with product, sales, senior leadership, success, and solutions teams.
• Meticulous attention to detail, especially when creating external collateral (e.g. presentations, partner decks).
• Stellar organizational and time management skills.
• Experience attending networking events, expos and trade shows.
• Experience presenting to large audiences and acting as an ambassador for the company and its solutions.
