VP Sales Engineering

Vice President, Sales Engineering

ALL.SPACE is scaling fast and technical credibility with customers is central to that growth. Today the technical fit between customer requirements and proposed solutions is largely assessed by sales staff and shared resource creating risk that solutions need to be revisited, challenged or reworked later in the sales cycle. The Vice President, Sales Engineering will close this gap by building and leading a world-class sales engineering team that architects the right technical solution the first time, and that customers, sales and product teams trust.

This is a new, senior leadership role reporting to the Chief Revenue Officer. The successful candidate is a hands-on technical leader, equally comfortable in front of demanding defense customers, coaching engineers and challenging a proposed solution before it reaches the customer.

Key Accountabilities:

1. Technical Leadership & Team Building

Hire, develop and lead a team of world-class sales engineers, growing the function from its current single engineer to a team of approximately six. Align sales engineers to sales verticals and named accounts so technical support matches account and territory strategy. Set the standard, methodology and quality bar for technical solutioning across the team, coaching engineers on customer-facing technical communication and solution design.

2. Solution Design & Sales Cycle Leadership

Provide technical leadership through the full sales cycle of discovery, solution design and architecture, demonstrations, trials and field evaluations. Work directly with customers and account teams to translate customer requirements and mission needs into validated, technically sound solutions and proactively challenge and pressure-test proposed solutions before they reach the customer, reducing costly rework and credibility risk later in the cycle.

3. RFIs, RFPs & Technical Proposals

Own technical responses to RFIs / RFPs, compliance matrices and terminal integration questions. De-risk deals by validating feasibility, interoperability and performance claims early in the sales process.

4. Customer Demonstrations & Trials

Manage and oversee customer demonstrations and field trials, ensuring they are technically sound, well-resourced and accurately reflect ALL.SPACE capability.

5. Voice of the Customer into Product & Engineering

Act as the voice of the customer into Product and Engineering, feeding customer and market intelligence into requirements and roadmap decisions, and representing field and customer perspective in product planning and prioritization.

6. Fulfilment & Delivery Assurance

Ensure designs and configurations agreed with customers are accurately and completely handed into the ALL.SPACE fulfilment process, partnering with Fulfilment and Operations to protect delivery accuracy and a high standard of customer satisfaction post-sale.

7. Channel & Partner Enablement

Support channel partners and operators with technical enablement and training, building repeatable technical enablement materials so partners can qualify and support opportunities independently.
