As a Solutions Engineer for the Commercial sales segment, you'll play a key role in enhancing sales efficiency and accelerating the progression of deal cycles to successfully win those deals by delivering technical expertise, industry context, and customer-specific insights.

You'll support opportunity qualification using frameworks like MEDDPICC, helping sales teams understand customers' use cases, validate technical success criteria, and influence champion engagement. As such, experience with MEDDPICC is a plus.

You'll also serve as a subject matter expert on our suite of products, becoming deeply knowledgeable about their functionality and technical aspects. With that knowledge, you will collaborate cross-functionally with Sales Enablement, Product, Marketing, Customer Experience, and other teams on customer-related initiatives and resources for the Go-to-Market team.

• Demonstrated ability to work independently and in a fast-paced team environment.

• Experience working with SaaS tools and in the security industry is an asset.

• Maintain a high-level understanding of AI technologies and demonstrate confidence in learning and articulating the company's evolving AI roadmap to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong familiarity with acronyms like IAM, SCIM, AD, CLI, SSO, and of course SaaS.

• Additionally, it’s a bonus if you have personal experience with 1Password or another password manager as well as experience with Identity and Access Management tools—while not required, it’ll help you gain confidence quickly in this role.

What you can expect:

• Serve as the primary technical advisor/resource within 1Password’s Go-to-Market team.

• Become a subject matter expert across our suite of products.

• Partner closely with Account Executives to accelerate deal success.

• Lead and manage Proofs of Concept (PoCs) to support customers in their technical validation of the 1Password suite of products, demonstrate value, and accelerate customer decision-making.
