The Solutions Engineer (SE) is a sales and technical role, part of a sales team, working with F5 end-user customers and partners.
The high-level objective is, together with a Named Account Manager, to achieve the allocated sales target by selling F5’s solutions to a pre-defined number of end-user accounts.
Critical to the success is the SE’s ability to work with end-users and F5 channel partners to drive F5 solution sales, including demonstrations and Proof of Concept tests that enable successful implementation of F5 technologies at those accounts.
The SE primary responsibility is to develop and deliver the sales team’s technical strategy, ensuring that the best matching and business-effective F5 solutions are driven to customers.
The SE should always engage customers with a Consultative Sales approach, learning and understanding existing business and technical solutions to identify pain points, challenges, and the gains achieved by implementing a F5 solution.
You should discuss both technical and business benefits and establish a value relationship, becoming a trusted advisor to your customers.
Collaboration is key to success; you should work with your team’s F5 salesperson to drive the sales process, identify the Technical Decision Maker (TDM), and obtain technical validation, support, and sponsorship from the TDM.
As we sell through our channel partners, proposed solutions should be defined with close participation from the partner sales team to build business value propositions addressing real customer needs.
In terms of knowledge, the SE should have solid technical skills on F5 key solutions’ use-cases and the broader ecosystem.
While the SE should balance requests across the whole set of F5 solutions, we expect deep expertise in a reduced set of use-cases (Prime Solution), becoming the regional expert for chosen use-cases and supporting other SEs with guidance from other experts.
