## Description

* Partnering with AEs. Solution Engineers are paired with one or two AEs. They support sales cycles and also co-create account strategy and execute on it.
 * Account planning and point of view. SEs help formulate account plans and go beyond demos and Q&A. They use the plan to build a point of view: an analysis of the customer's situation and a map of the opportunities to realize more value with analytics.
 * Domain knowledge. SEs build working knowledge of the Life Sciences vertical, including industry pressures and customers' internal goals and challenges. They don't need to be domain experts, but they bring the curiosity to learn how customers' businesses operate.
 * Trusted advisor to senior stakeholders. SEs engage C-level and senior business and IT leaders. They frame ambiguous business problems, define the opportunity set, recommend practical next steps, and build consensus across complex buying groups.
 * Discovery and solutioning. SEs work with customers, AEs, and Professional Services to uncover business needs and recommend strategic solutions. They validate those recommendations with live demonstrations.
 * Storytelling through demos and POCs. SEs build and deliver tailored, executive-level demos and proofs of concept for multiple personas. These show a clear path to value, including future-state customer journeys and long-term roadmaps.
 * Architecture and cross-functional leadership. SEs understand the customer's architecture well enough to position our solutions within it. They lead cross-functional teams and align them to the opportunity strategy.
 * Continuous learning and travel. SEs complete product, sales, and process training and certifications to stay effective. Travel of up to 50% is expected, based on territory and region.
