We're working with a high-growth, global data protection and cyber resilience vendor that is continuing to take serious market share across the backup, recovery and storage space.
They are now looking for a Senior Systems Engineer / Pre-Sales Specialist to play a key role across the London and South UK region.
This is a home-based role, but it is not a desk-only position. You'll be expected to get in front of customers, partners and prospects across London, with additional travel across the South of the UK where required.
The opportunity
You'll work closely with the sales team as the technical lead through the sales cycle - helping customers understand their current backup, recovery and storage challenges, shaping the right solution, running technical workshops, delivering demos, supporting POCs, and positioning the value of the technology against major competitors in the market.
What you'll be doing
You'll act as the trusted technical advisor for customers and partners across the region, working alongside field sales to identify requirements, design solutions and move opportunities forward.
Day to day, this will include:
Delivering technical presentations, demos, workshops and solution briefings
Supporting enterprise sales cycles from discovery through to close
Running solution design, sizing, architecture and technical validation
Supporting POCs, RFPs, RFIs and technical proposals
Working with customers around backup, recovery, ransomware resilience, storage and disaster recovery requirements
Helping partners and resellers understand the technology and how to position it effectively
Building strong relationships with technical stakeholders, infrastructure teams, IT leaders and channel partners
Working closely with sales, post-sales and support teams to ensure a strong customer experience
What we're looking for
We need someone already operating in a customer-facing technical role, ideally as a:
Senior Systems Engineer, Pre-Sales Consultant, Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, Technical Architect or similar.
You'll need to be comfortable being the technical lead in front of customers, able to explain complex infrastructure topics clearly, and credible enough to challenge, advise and guide enterprise IT teams.
The strongest fit will bring experience across areas such as:
Backup, recovery, disaster recovery or data protection
Storage infrastructure, secondary storage or backup appliances
Ransomware resilience, immutability, air-gapped recovery or cyber recovery
Enterprise infrastructure environments
Pre-sales demos, workshops, technical discovery and solution design
Working with backup platforms such as Veeam, Commvault, Veritas, NetBackup, Rubrik, Cohesity or similar
Supporting partner/channel-led sales motionsYou don't need to tick every single box, but you do need to have strong pre-sales capability, solid infrastructure knowledge, and the confidence to own the technical side of a sales cycle.
Why this role?
This would suit someone who is technically strong, commercially aware, comfortable in front of customers, and looking for a role where they can genuinely influence growth across a key UK region.
