Are You the Sales Engineer Who Can Turn Technical Excellence into Trusted Government Solutions?
An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced Sales Engineer to join a global technology leader helping some of the world's most critical organisations solve their most complex digital challenges.
This is not a traditional Sales Engineer position. As a Sales Engineer, you'll work at the intersection of technology, strategy, and customer success, partnering with UK Government and Public Sector organisations to deliver transformational outcomes across highly secure environments.
Working remotely from home and engaging directly with customers across the UK, this Sales Engineer role offers the chance to influence major digital transformation programmes while working alongside some of the industry's most talented technical and commercial professionals.
Why This Sales Engineer Opportunity Stands Out
As a Sales Engineer, you'll become a trusted advisor to government stakeholders, helping customers gain unprecedented visibility across their digital ecosystems, improve performance, strengthen security, and accelerate innovation.
This Sales Engineer position offers:
✅ £90,000–£120,000 base salary
✅ Performance bonus
✅ Car allowance
✅ Extensive benefits package
✅ Fully remote working arrangement
✅ Exposure to high-profile UK Public Sector projects
✅ The opportunity to shape product direction and influence future innovation
The Role: Sales Engineer
As a Sales Engineer, you will play a pivotal role throughout the entire customer journey.
You'll lead technical discovery sessions, design compelling solutions, demonstrate product value, support proof-of-concepts, contribute to RFP responses, and help customers solve real-world operational and security challenges. The successful Sales Engineer will work closely with sales leadership, engineering teams, product specialists, system integrators, service providers, and Government stakeholders.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading technical discovery and presales engagements
* Acting as the primary technical authority during the sales cycle
* Delivering compelling demonstrations and value-driven presentations
* Supporting Proof of Concepts and customer evaluations
* Building trusted relationships with senior customer stakeholders
* Contributing to technical documentation, whitepapers, and bid responses
* Influencing product strategy through market and customer feedback
