Things You’ll Do:

Take a consultative approach to deeply understand your customers’ technical needs and pain points, and present tailored, insightful solutions using Zapier’s Enterprise Automation platform.
Drive revenue for Zapier by positioning Zapier as an integral part of customers’ business strategy through value-driven proof-of-concepts, customized demos, and solution discussions.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Product, and Customer Success to develop integration architectures and long-term adoption strategies.
Advocate for customers and influence the product roadmap, ensuring Zapier’s platform evolves to meet the needs of enterprise customers.

About You:

Experience: 5+ years in technical pre-sales at B2B SaaS companies or customer-facing technical consulting roles that involve biz-and-tech-line relationship management and driving business goals with a technical lens.
Technical Acumen: You are familiar with core computing concepts and have implemented technical projects during your career. You are OK getting into the weeds with technical implementations, assisting customers with their builds, and strategically scoping/ intaking customer requirements as part of a pre-sales process. You are comfortable advising architectural best-practices to senior technical stakeholders, and managing expectations relative to product capabilities and customer requirements.
Consultative Approach: You excel at understanding customer needs and providing innovative solutions. You are comfortable sitting in a room in-person, and advising both technical and non-technical stakeholders on their desired projects. You have experience driving change and helping customers to reach their goals within the boundaries of ‘what is possible. You understand how to position Zapier as an integral part of a company’s broader business strategy, helping them see the long-term value of automation and integration.
Relationship Building & Nurturing: You know how to quickly build and maintain senior-level relationships, establishing trust with both business and technical teams. You nurture long-term, partner-centric solutions and roadmaps, aligning your advice with their broader goals, rather than only focusing on immediate wins for Zapier. You understand that impactful, lasting work is built over time.
Adaptability & Problem Solving: You thrive in dynamic, evolving environments. You take a hands-on approach to solving problems and deliver creative, scalable solutions. When faced with new challenges, you are quick to learn and adapt.
Technical Innovation & Mentorship: You’re a fast-moving technical innovator who enjoys sharing knowledge. Whether through 1:1 mentorship or detailed documentation, you actively help others grow their expertise. You’ve consistently learned new skills to better advise partners in unforeseen situations and continually improve your own expertise.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: You work seamlessly across teams, partnering with Growth, Engineering, and Product to ensure customer success from pre-sale to post-deployment. You gather insights from customers and prioritize feedback that influences the product roadmap.
Data-Driven Approach: You know how to leverage both quantitative and qualitative data to craft technical plans that deliver the most impact. Whether researching external market data, internal metrics, or investigating partner sites and marketplaces, you have the ability to piece together valuable insights to drive decisions.
Self-Motivated: You thrive in environments with ambiguity, driven by a strong personal desire to learn and achieve.
AI Fluent: You use AI in your work today — not occasionally, but as part of how you operate at a high level. You can point to workflows you’ve built, how your approach has evolved through iteration, and the impact on quality, efficiency, and experience — while intentionally applying AI for the right outcomes, setting a high bar for outputs, and taking ownership of what ships.
Proven Success in Enterprise Sales: You’ve demonstrated success in closing 6 figure software deals and can quickly develop and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders, ensuring that sales and technical integration efforts align with business goals.

Application Deadline:

The anticipated application window is 30 days from the date job is posted, unless the number of applicants requires it to close sooner or later, or if the position is filled.
