About The Role

Reporting to Tom Fischer, we’re looking for a top-tier Sales Engineer with experience supporting SLED accounts to join our growing team. You’ll play a critical role in helping state, local, and education institutions evaluate Ambient.ai’s platform. This role is ideal for a technically strong, customer-obsessed individual who excels in navigating long, complex sales cycles and public-sector stakeholder environments.

You’ll partner closely with Regional Sales Managers to lead pilots, deliver tailored demos, and map technical capabilities to public-sector mission outcomes — all while working across internal teams to shape a customer-centric roadmap.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with Regional Sales Managers to support strategic SLED opportunities, often involving complex, multi-agency stakeholders.
• Lead successful technical Pilots (proof of concepts / proof of value) that reflect the real-world needs of public institutions.
• Drive technical conversations and discovery across IT, Security, Procurement, and department-level stakeholders.
• Deliver impactful demos and presentations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Anchor Ambient’s business value through structured Business Value Assessments, tailored to the public sector.
• Provide subject-matter expertise throughout the sales cycle, answering technical questions and proposing architecture.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to influence the roadmap and drive post-sale success.
• Act as a trusted advisor and technical resource throughout the entire evaluation and procurement process.
