Smb Solutions Engineer, Client Management

Asana Asana · Enterprise · Chicago, IL · SMB

Solutions Engineer role focused on the technical sales cycle for Asana's AI Teammates product, involving demos, workflow configuration, solution design, and driving AI Teammate activation post-close. The role also involves gathering customer feedback to shape the product and building scaled assets for the sales team. It requires understanding of AI LLMs and GPTs, and their business applications, with a focus on customer acquisition and revenue growth.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the technical side of the ACM sales cycle: demos, workflow configuration, and solution design for agency and professional services buyers.
  2. Build vertical-specific demo environments for primary verticals—Advertising & Marketing, Media, Digital Services, Design & Creative, and PR—that let AEs compress time-to-proof on every call.
  3. Translate customer pain into specific product configurations; show a Head of Delivery exactly how the Notice/Recommend/Approve loop works for their brief intake process, not a generic walkthrough.
  4. Drive AI Teammate activation post-close; your job doesn't end at the signature—you make sure the portal has real client activity and AIT consumption is running before you hand off.
  5. Partner with AEs on multi-stakeholder deals where the technical design or workflow architecture determines whether the deal closes.
