We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced sales engineers with strong expertise in technical discovery, solution design, product demonstrations, proof-of-concept development, and complex B2B software sales.
This role supports an advanced AI research initiative focused on evaluating how effectively AI systems perform realistic technical sales and pre-sales work.
