You'll partner closely with Account Executives to understand how prospective customers manage trade today, uncover where their processes are breaking down, and demonstrate how Vividly can help them operate differently. You'll lead discovery and tailored demonstrations across workflows such as trade promotion planning, deductions, accruals, forecasting, reporting, and financial reconciliation. You'll work with stakeholders across Sales, Accounting, Finance, Operations, and IT, adapting the solution story to what matters most to each audience. You'll also play an important role in setting customers up for successful onboarding. You'll identify implementation considerations, integration dependencies, business requirements, and potential risks before Closed Won and ensure that context transfers cleanly into Solution Architecture and Implementation. Beyond individual opportunities, you'll help strengthen how Vividly sells by developing reusable solution stories, improving discovery practices, sharing CPG expertise across the organization, and bringing recurring customer needs back to Product and Customer Experience. In This Role, You'll Help The Team: * Lead business and solution discovery alongside Account Executives to understand customer workflows, pain points, priorities, and desired outcomes. * Deliver compelling, tailored demonstrations that connect Vividly capabilities to real customer problems and business outcomes. * Understand and solution across trade planning, deductions, accruals, forecasting, reporting, profitability, and related CPG workflows. * Translate complex customer processes into clear future-state workflows within Vividly. * Engage confidently with stakeholders across Sales, Accounting, Finance, Operations, IT, and executive leadership. * Uncover requirements customers may not initially recognize by asking thoughtful questions and connecting processes across departments. * Understand the customer's broader technology and data environment, including ERP systems, retailer/distributor data, syndicated data, and other systems supporting trade. * Partner with Integration Solutions Engineering when deeper technical discovery or integration feasibility validation is required. * Identify implementation dependencies, potential solution gaps, risks, and customer readiness considerations before Closed Won. * Partner with Sales to ensure proposed solutions and customer expectations align with Vividly's capabilities. * Document key workflows, requirements, assumptions, decisions, and commitments so customers don't have to restart discovery after the sale. * Partner with Solution Architecture on complex opportunities and provide a structured handoff after Closed Won. * Stay current on Vividly capabilities, integrations, product releases, and relevant CPG industry trends. * Bring recurring customer needs and market feedback back to Product, Customer Experience, and Sales. * Help develop reusable demonstrations, discovery frameworks, solution patterns, and enablement that improve how Vividly sells. * Serve as a CPG subject matter expert across the organization and help teammates better understand the operational realities of our customers., You'll work closely with Sales, Solution Architecture, Integrations, Product, Implementation, and Customer Success. Our operating model is built around a simple principle: Solutions Engineering determines how Vividly can solve the customer's problem. Solution Architecture turns that solution into an executable implementation design. During the sales process, you'll own the solution story, understanding the customer's business, validating fit, demonstrating the future state, and surfacing the requirements and dependencies that matter. For highly technical requirements, you'll partner with Integration Solutions Engineering rather than being expected to independently architect every API or ERP integration. For complex implementation design, you'll bring Solution Architecture into the conversation early rather than waiting until after the deal closes. Once a customer becomes a customer, you'll provide a structured handoff so the onboarding team understands what was sold, why it was designed that way, what matters most to the customer, and what risks or dependencies have already been identified. The goal is simple: win the right customers, design the right solution, and make Closed Won feel like a continuation of the customer journey - not a restart.
