Responsibilities

• Lead pre-sales engagement for Trustpair’s strategic Enterprise opportunities in North America, helping shape complex deals from initial discovery through successful close.
• Drive continuous improvement across processes, methodologies, tools, and best practices for the global pre-sales team.
• Become a trusted product and deal-strategy partner to the US team, bringing deep expertise and helping Account Executives navigate and win complex opportunities.
• Partner with US Account Executives on strategic and complex enterprise deals: lead technical discovery, deliver tailored product demonstrations, design and run Proof of Concept phases, and build compelling business cases for C-level stakeholders.
• Serve as the primary expert on Trustpair's product, integrations, and value proposition throughout the sales cycle, ensuring prospects at every level of the organization fully understand what Trustpair brings to their specific environment.
• Own POC phases end-to-end: define success criteria with the prospect, coordinate internal resources, track progress, and drive conversion to a signed deal.
• Navigate complex enterprise environments involving multi-stakeholder alignment, ERP integrations (SAP, Oracle, Coupa), TMS platforms, and collaboration with consulting firms or system integrators when present in the deal.
• Build lasting relationships with key contacts at target accounts and strategic partners to support long-term pipeline development.
• Define and enforce best practices, processes, and methodologies across the pre-sales team (currently 2 in Europe, 1 in the US), from discovery frameworks and qualification criteria to POC playbooks and demo standards.

• Ensure the team has the right materials to operate at a high level: integration guides, battle cards, use case libraries, and product documentation.
• Work hand-in-hand with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle, not just as a technical resource, but as a strategic partner who helps them qualify deals more effectively, structure their approach, and maximize their chances of closing.

• Elevate the overall quality of sales execution by sharing knowledge on Trustpair's product, integration complexity, and what separates a winnable deal from a difficult one.
