Sales Engineer

UpGuard's mission is to make life easier for security teams. We meticulously create robust solutions that enable our customers to identify, assess, and remediate cybersecurity risk across their attack surface, vendor ecosystem, workforce, and trust relationships. Our integrated cyber risk posture management platform combines comprehensive security ratings, instant risk assessments, templated security questionnaires, threat intelligence capabilities, and agentic AI to give organizations a holistic view of their risk surface.

At UpGuard, our Sales team has not only been pivotal in growing our business but, more importantly, showing the value of our product daily. We have a highly collaborative sales culture and take on a consultative approach, focusing solely on what's best for the customer. In 2024, our Sales team exceeded revenue targets, and we're only just getting started! We're on the lookout for high-energy individuals who are hungry to get better every day, have a desire to win, and are seeking to sell a product that is helping solve a massive problem for businesses across the globe.

We are looking to further expand our Sales Engineering function in the US, to support our growing sales team. As a Sales Engineer at UpGuard, you will be the central technical point of contact for customers progressing through our sales funnel. We're looking for a driven individual who possesses an inquisitive mind and excellent technical knowledge. By joining the Sales Engineering team in the US, you'll have a critical role in enabling our Account Executives and ensuring our customers have a world-class experience.

What will you accomplish?

  • As part of the Revenue Operations team, your goals will be to build, implement, and iterate on processes to support and scale the Sales function to achieve revenue targets
  • You will drive product activation during trials by providing an excellent experience to our customers and ultimately assist the sales team with closing new business by doing the following :
  • Support prospects during trials / proof of concepts (POC) of the platform
  • Identifying prospect pain points and challenges during trials / POCs of the platform while also defining their goals and influencing their requirements
  • Be the technical point of contact for any support queries during the trial process
  • Assist with customer security assessments, RFPs, and business cases as required
  • Work collaboratively with the team to improve the trial / POC experience for our customers by identifying key insights, trends, and areas of improvement in the trial process and developing solutions to mitigate them

What do we need from you?

  • At least 2-3 years of experience in either a Sales Engineer, Solutions Consultant, or technical customer support role at a B2B SaaS company
  • A solutions-driven problem solver who is innately curious and seeks to understand WHY
  • Proven ability to deliver product demonstrations and deliver presentations to customers
  • Excellent written and verbal communication - this is a customer-facing role and you will be speaking directly to customers as part of the trial process
  • A high degree of technical aptitude and an intrinsic willingness to learn
  • Ability to give and receive feedback - you will collaborate cross-functionally across the organization to drive process improvements
  • What will give you an edge?

  • Information Technology or Software Engineering degree
  • Experience or a keen interest in cybersecurity
  • What's in it for you?

  • Monthly Lifestyle subsidy : use this for financial, physical, and mental well-being.
  • WFH set-up allowance : to ensure you have the right environment to work in, we will help you get set up within your first 3 months at UpGuard.
