    About Lenovo

    Lenovo is the fastest-growing technology company on the planet, driven by a culture that believes life rewards those who Never Stand Still. Every day, our teams challenge conventional thinking and deliver technology solutions that help customers move forward.

    We are seeking SMB Sales Engineers to serve as technical pre-sales specialists supporting Lenovo''s SMB sales organization. Sales Engineers work in close partnership with Client Managers, Channel Partners, and customers to identify, configure, and position the right Lenovo solutions across our High-End PC, Entry Server, Storage, and Services portfolio.
