Pre-sales Senior Engagement Manager

Intercom Intercom · Enterprise · Chicago, IL · Customer Success & Solutions

This role is for a Pre-Sales Senior Engagement Manager at Intercom, an AI Customer Agent company. The role focuses on shaping how AI solutions are brought to life for customers before a contract is signed, by leading services scoping, partnering with sales, translating requirements into SOWs, designing AI-powered solutions, and assessing deal complexity. The goal is to help customers confidently invest in AI transformation by designing deployment approaches that balance speed, adoption, and long-term value. The role also involves improving pre-sales processes and tooling.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead services scoping with customers (Director to C-level) to understand their support operations, goals, and constraints—and turn that into a clear deployment path forward
  2. Partner closely with Sales to position services, shape deals, and give customers confidence in how they’ll get value from day one
  3. Translate business and technical requirements into clear Statements of Work (SOWs)—including scope, assumptions, exclusions, timelines, dependencies, and customer responsibilities
  4. Help customers rethink their customer experience using AI—not just replicate old workflows with new tools
  5. Evaluate deals across dimensions like workspace and workflow design, Fin readiness, migration complexity, and integrations - then translate them into clear Statement of Work (SOWs)
