  • Partner with Sales to perform use case discovery sessions to uncover company's desired business outcomes and pain points.
  • Assist prospects and customers with POCs and Pilots.
  • Execute the build and delivery of solution-based demos/solution architecture diagrams for customers with highly complex use cases.
  • Craft content to show customers how to leverage Gong for specific use cases.
  • Solution complex business and technical requirements and explain them in simple terms.
  • Assist with RFPs and questionnaires in the context of sales cycles.
  • Help eliminate bottlenecks by working cross-functionally to get deals across the line.
  • Partner with and support Marketing on demand gen activities.
  • Contribute reusable assets to the Sales Engineering team and the company at-large.
  • Collaborate with Product Marketing, Product Management, and Engineering to share voice of the customer feedback and influence product roadmap and GTM strategies.
