Employer job description
From FreedomPay's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Sales Engineers drive revenue. Every demo, discovery call, and RFP response you deliver has one purpose: to move a deal forward and win it.
As a Sales Engineer, you are the technical half of the sales team. You are measured on pipeline, win rate, and speed, not on how many demos you ran. You will work a high volume of opportunities, qualify them quickly, make a compelling technical case, and keep deals moving from first conversation to closed-won. When a deal needs deep architecture work, you bring in our Solution Engineering team. When it closes, you hand off a clean, well-documented win.
If you are energized by competing, closing, and being part of a team that wins, this is the role.
Key Responsibilities (Including but not limited to):: Drive Pipeline and Win Rate
- Partner with Sales on qualification, helping prioritize opportunities with the best chance of closing and the highest revenue potential.
- Run technical discovery that uncovers the client's real business drivers, buying criteria, and decision process, not just their technical stack.
- Deliver demos and proofs of concept built around the client's business case and tied to the reasons they will buy.
- Identify competitive threats and technical objections early, and arm Sales with the positioning to beat them.
- Keep deals moving: respond fast, remove technical blockers, and help Sales shorten the sales cycle.
- Contribute to pipeline reviews, forecasts, and deal strategy with an honest technical view of what will and won't close.
- Win the RFP
- Own the technical response on RFIs, RFPs, and security questionnaires, delivering accurate, persuasive answers on tight deadlines.
- Focus on what scores and what wins, and make sure FreedomPay's strengths are clear to evaluators.
- Keep RFP content current and reusable so the team responds faster, and wins more, on every bid.
- Be the Connection Point
- Escalate complex architecture and advanced solutioning to Solution Engineering at the right moment, and brief them well enough to hit the ground running.
- Work with Product, Systems Integrations, Account Management, and Partner teams to make sure what is sold can be delivered.
- Bring field intelligence, competitive losses, and customer requests to Product in a form that influences the roadmap.
- Hand off every closed deal with commitments, scope, and technical context clearly documented for implementation.
- Sell Smarter with AI
- Use AI and automation to cut the time spent on discovery prep, demo setup, and RFP drafting, so you can cover more opportunities without losing quality.
- Build and share skills, workflows, and reusable assets that make the whole team faster.
- Maintain the Sales Engineering knowledge base across Confluence and SharePoint.
- Represent FreedomPay at client meetings, partner events, and industry conferences.
- Required Skills and Experience:: Bachelor's degree required; technical or business discipline preferred.
- 3–5+ years in Sales Engineering, Solutions Consulting, or a comparable pre-sales role, with a track record of supporting deals that closed.
- Commercial mindset: you understand quota, pipeline, and forecasting, and you see your work in terms of revenue won.
- Working knowledge of payments and FinTech, including how card-present and card-not-present transactions move through gateway, processor, and network.
- Comfort with APIs and integration concepts, enough to hold credible technical conversations with developers and architects.
- Ability to run multiple opportunities at the same time, prioritizing ruthlessly and responding quickly.
