Description
Have you watched Game of Thrones on www.hbo.com or live broadcasting of FIFA World Cup on www.espn.com? If the answer is yes, you have already used Conviva technologies.
With a view into over 4 billion streams per month from over 1.6 billion unique devices, Conviva provides a global map of the Internet with detailed intelligence, giving online video providers the power to navigate the pitfalls of delivering video over an infrastructure not built for video. By recording detailed, real-time information on each and every viewer’s experience during every viewing session, Conviva’s big data platform not only offers an unparalleled view into what is happening, but the ability to preemptively avoid the bottlenecks and outages that cause viewers to stop watching.
Conviva is seeking a Solution Consultant. The ideal candidate should have a Technical Sales background, as they will be responsible for driving value across Conviva’s customers, securing renewal and identifying expansion opportunities. They should be highly diplomatic, as they will play a critical role in building relationships with strategic clients ensuring their overall satisfaction with our company, support and solutions. As a customer-facing Technical Account Manager, you should have excellent communication, organization and interpersonal skills.
What you get to do
The Solution Consultant role evolved from Conviva's Technical Field Team, blending Sales Engineering, Customer Success and Account Management and is well-suited to our low volume, high value, high touch engagement model. The role is intended for those with technical pre-sales and/or post-sales experience. The Solution Consultant (SC) is a dynamic role that couples consultative selling with customer relationship skills to drive adoption and growth of Conviva’s solutions. The SC works closely with Account Executives to understand our client/prospect challenges; acting as the primary point-of-contact for our client engagements. SCs demonstrate passion for their client’s success, bringing Conviva’s best ideas, innovations, and capabilities to clients to drive maximum business value.
The SC is able to found and nurture relationships with the client and help foster collaboration between Conviva teams and the clients’ teams, creating win- win environments. The SC will evangelize the value of Conviva’s solutions and help our clients extract maximum value from our services.
A successful SC must be outgoing, organized, and results-oriented. The ideal candidate should have the business acumen to speak confidently to C-Level execs, as well as the technical expertise to engage with IT professionals. He/She must be a good listener and ask appropriate questions in order to better understand the client’s business and then guide the client through operationalizing Conviva’s solutions to ensure success.
Whilst not ultimately responsible for closing commercial deals & terms, the SC owns the renewal with existing accounts and is further incentivized to identify and support pre-sales activity on expansion opportunities as well as new prospects.
