The Work You'll Do:
The Pre-Sales Engineer will act as a strategic technical advisor supporting complex, multi-country sales engagements across Sovos’ tax and compliance technology portfolio.
This is a senior pre-sales role for a commercially driven professional who thrives in enterprise environments, leads structured discovery, and confidently positions high-value solutions.

More specifically you will:
- Lead complex, multi-entity discovery sessions across global customer organisations
- Map customer transaction flows, ERP landscapes, and regulatory exposure
- Design scalable, cross-border solution architectures aligned to business and compliance needs
- Confidently position the commercial value of Sovos solutions, not just demonstrate functionality
- Influence technical and business stakeholders, including senior decision-makers
- Partner with Sales to shape account strategy and advance deals through structured qualification
- Own technical responses for enterprise RFPs, RFIs and global tenders
- Deliver tailored demonstrations reflecting global regulatory and ERP scenarios
- Operate as a trusted advisor in partner-led and embedded solution models
- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure seamless transition from pre-sales to implementation
- Contribute to global pre-sales best practices, messaging, and competitive positioning
- Maintain high-quality demo environments aligned with global market requirements
What We Need From You:
- 3+ years of experience in Sales Engineering or Technical Pre-Sales within enterprise software
- Proven success supporting complex, multi-country or enterprise-level deals
- Strong ability to lead structured discovery and solution mapping conversations
- Commercial mindset with confidence influencing customer buying decisions
- Experience navigating ERP ecosystems is highly desirable
