EIS Group is looking to hire a Senior Solutions Consultant with extensive Life & Annuities experience.
We’re looking for a passionate storyteller who loves technology, but is not a technologist. We’re looking for a charismatic thought leader who loves to eek the best stories out of those around them. Can you distill down the most complex ideas to just a few words? Can you interview an expert in the field and hone down to just the most core point of view? We are seeking a natural storyteller with a passion for innovation and an aptitude for technology is needed.
About the Role
Reporting directly to the Vice President of Global Sales Operations, our Senior Presales Consultant will work closely with Product Marketing and Engineering teams to leverage industry knowledge to create crafted demos, with a continued focus on demonstrating EIS Group’s business value, not just highlighting features and functions of the EIS Suite™.
The role will oversee the most important sales pursuits to bring the company and our offering to life. We’re looking for you to come obsess over the messaging, the story, ensuring that our insurance customers don’t have to do any more work than is necessary to just “get it”. In this role you’ll get a seat at the table to drive our brand message to the largest insurance companies around the world, daily.
In this role, you will get in the driver’s seat and lead the pursuit team to deliver fascinating and compelling stories throughout the sales cycle. You will understand the customer, truly understand them. You will know their every want, need and professional desires. You will tell the story of our company, our products and our services in a way that will make our prospects want to do business with EIS Group and nobody else. You will lead a pursuit team, orchestrate the message, narrate over the demos. You will work with our engineers to build crafted demos that will amaze.
