You'll manage the Sales Engineers in each region, build out the team as it grows, and remain hands‑on by providing direct pre‑sales support on key opportunities. You'll own the team's performance metrics, and a central part of the role is to lead pre-sales support for cross‑sell initiatives, helping Sales introduce and win additional service lines within the existing client base as the firm expands beyond its core offering. You’ll report to the Global Director, Customer Success & Sales Engineering and partner closely with Sales, Customer Success, Delivery, and Revenue Operations. We’re looking for a leader from a professional services or technical industry who can bring a fresh perspective and broaden the team's expertise beyond GRC. Key Responsibilities Team Leadership Lead, coach, and develop the Sales Engineering team, including the existing North America Sales Engineer and the APAC and EMEA Sales Engineers. Own performance management and hiring (when required) for the team, including goal‑setting, regular 1:1s, and formal performance reviews. Maintain and deliver a consistent global approach to pre‑sales methodology, scoping, proposals, and tooling, with clear coverage across time zones. Define career pathways for Sales Engineers and build the bench for future growth. Team Metrics & Operations Own the team's metrics: track, and report on the Sales Engineering coverage model and overall team performance.

Partner with service‑line leaders (e.g. tax, audit, advisory) and the NAMER Customer Success team to align on co‑selling, referrals, and shared pipeline. Help ensure all cross‑sell and pre‑sales activity operates within the firm’s independence and professional standards, working with Risk and Quality teams where required. Provide direct pre‑sales support on key opportunities, including discovery, scoping, solution design, and executive‑level client conversations. Enablement Own the Sales Engineering content library globally, setting standards, priorities and a review cycle so materials stay consistent and current across regions. Direct the regional Sales Engineers in content creation, ensuring each region contributes expertise rather than building separate versions. Build repeatable cross‑sell playbooks, messaging, and enablement materials for Sales and Sales Engineering. Partner with Marketing on production and with platform partners (e.g. Vanta, Drata) on approved use of their platforms and branding. Partnerships Work with Sales and Partnership team leaders to strengthen existing partner relationships and develop new ones. Provide the technical credibility partners need to position and co‑sell our services, including joining joint client conversations and pre‑sales engagements. Support partner enablement by building materials and running sessions that help partners understand our service lines. Guide the regional Sales Engineers on supporting partner‑led opportunities, so partner activity follows a consistent global approach. Report on partner‑sourced and partner‑influenced pipeline as part of the team’s metrics.

Familiarity with compliance and assurance frameworks, or the willingness to learn them quickly. Awareness of independence and professional standards in a regulated services environment. Prior experience building or scaling a Sales Engineering function. Experience working with clients or teams across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
