About the Role
The Senior Systems Engineer works closely with the Sales Team in breaking down technical barriers to sales.
Responsibilities include the ability to present Veeam messaging to varying numbers and levels of decision makers, including but not limited to CXO, chief architects and IT management. You will be responsible for the creation of content and delivery of demonstrations to support this Veeam messaging (in conjunction with Channel Partners). The role also may contain an important element of channel training to enable partners to be able to (independently) position and resell to their customers. The successful candidate will be a self-motivated, technically competent Veeam presales sales engineer with a track record of partnering with other groups within the sales and support organisation to close sales. The role will require strengths and a background in defining architectural strategies to guide customers toward the adoption of Veeam technologies.
The Senior Systems Engineer is a primarily customer focused technical role that is responsible for working closely with the field sales and channel department to help inform, enthuse and apprise partners, resellers and end users of our product offerings. This field-based role is as much about being evangelical for Veeam as being a great technical resource.
The Senior Systems Engineer acts in a consultative fashion and should be looked to as the expert in all of the products by sales, channel and other systems engineers. An influencer at all levels internally and externally with a highly autonomous approach and self-driven attitude.
