Day to day, you'll independently own the Proof of Value process from initial discovery through final presentation and run workshop-style technical discovery sessions that translate customer needs into a clear path forward. You'll deliver custom demos that tie technical solutions to business value while building relationships with technical champions inside each account. Across every interaction, you'll translate complex concepts for audiences ranging from SREs and developers to business stakeholders, confidently navigating functional and competitive objections along the way.

• Prepare and deliver custom demos tailored to unique customer pain points, partnering with automation engineers on complex scenarios.
• Conduct lightweight Operations Cloud Lifecycle Assessments (OCLA) with customers.
• Effectively converse and persuade at a technical level with practitioners (SREs, developers, MIMs), and handle functional and competitive objections.
• Articulate PagerDuty's differentiators relative to a customer's current and future state, incorporating them into POVs and custom demonstrations.
• Break down complex technical concepts and explain them clearly to audiences ranging from DevOps engineers to business stakeholders.
• Maintain accurate notes and feedback in the CRM regarding customer input, both wins and losses.
• Share best practices and reusable assets with other Solutions Consultants to improve the efficiency of the team.

• Strong communication skills to build and manage relationships with new and existing clients
• Project management skills and the ability to come up to speed quickly on new products and processes
• Experience selling SaaS solutions
• Ability to travel to customer sites as necessary
