    Technical Pre-Sales Manager - Aberdeen, United Kingdom - DNV

    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    Product Line Renewables & Ocean Structures builds and distributes engineering software. Our mission is to "empower the world's professionals to accelerate the energy transition, and sustainable use of the ocean", and we aim "to be the most trusted engineering and digitalization partner, bringing value through our customer experience focus". Our portfolio of software products includes a combination of successful industry favorites like Sesam, Bladed, and Nauticus Machinery, with new products, WindFarmer and SolarFarmer.

    Our Product Line is part of the DNV – Digital Solutions business area, built up of cross functional teams within a collaborative organization structure. The Renewables & Ocean Structures Product Line includes a product centre where software is developed, a product management team, an end-user support team, sales regions and a marketing and communications team.

    The Technical Pre-Sales Manager will have focus on DNV's client facing technical engagement when identifying leads, proactive participation as required during the sales process and customer's software implementation within the EMEA market, reinforcing an established regionally based sales team.

    An engineering background in offshore structures, either in Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) and/or Oil & Gas (O&G) will be essential for this role; however, an appreciation of the commercial aspects of the sales process is also vital and therefore being able to present product value from a technical standpoint.

    This team member will lead by example and build strong relationships, with their client peers and internally with the wider regional commercial team, along with global functions, and have a natural ability to engage clients at all levels of their organization is a must.

    This position is an excellent opportunity to develop technical and associated commercial skills, with an anticipation that this would lead to a strong career progression within DNV.

    This role will report to the Head of Sales, EMEA and Americas.

    What you will do:

  • Integrated within the sales team, working in close collaboration and in parallel to the Regional Sales Managers, leading the technical aspects of client discussions for our Sesam and Bladed products for both new and existing clients
  • Coordinate and collaborate with colleagues in the Support Team, Product Line and Product Centre where necessary
  • Lead product presentation, software demonstrations and workshops with clients
  • Define the scope of products to be offered based on client requirements, contribute to the development of proposal documents and look to answer / coordinate the collation of more in-depth responses to client technical queries
  • Contribute to the development of the technical aspects of the sales strategies
  • Work towards joint KPI's held with the associated Regional Sales Manager
  • Provide technical voice of the customer feedback and insights to the Product Managers and Product Marketing teams to ensure continuous improvement in our offerings
  • Ensure the customer has successful product implementation and the associated value creation by ensuring optimal utilization of the software's capabilities before handing over to our support team
  • Hold scheduled technical check-ins with our clients with the aim to ensure customer value and identify potential up sales opportunities
  • Create and present product papers / sit on technical panels at conferences
  • Increase the exposure and market knowledge of DNV Digital Solutions products from the Renewable and Ocean Structures product portfolio, especially in the offshore wind and oil and gas domains
  • Develop long standing, resilient client relationships which lead to a win-win scenario for both them and DNV
  • Be an integral part of the wider EMEA Region commercial team
  • Be the go-to person for Regional Sales Managers for technical questions
  • We are offering a challenging, varied, and responsible job in a dynamic and international environment with great colleagues who value teamwork and support. You will have plenty of opportunities for personal growth, according to our philosophy: 70% learning on the job, 20% coaching, and 10% training.
