Job Information
Publicis Groupe Senior Sales Engineer in United States
Overview
How You'll Make an Impact
At this level, your impact isn't measured by the volume of pursuits you touch; it's measured by the ones that matter most. As a Senior Principal in Sales Engineering, you’ll be one of Epsilon's most senior pre-sales practitioners: the person we rely on when the opportunity is strategically significant, the problem is genuinely undefined, or the stakes of getting it wrong are high.
You operate at the intersection of commercial ambiguity and technical credibility. Where other Sales Engineers complete a clear brief, you thrive when there isn't one. You quickly orient in complex, fast-moving situations, form a clear point of view, and help the pursuit team make confident decisions without waiting for perfect information.
You bring a level of client presence that matches the seniority of the rooms we need to win in. You translate sophisticated capability into outcomes that resonate at the economic buyer level. And you do it with the kind of credibility that makes clients and colleagues trust your judgment.
Responsibilities
What You'll Achieve
You will lead the pre-sales technical and capability engagement on Epsilon's highest-stakes pursuits – including new logo, cross-sell, strategic renewals, and pilots – across the full Epsilon portfolio. Your work directly shapes whether and how we win.
In this role, you will:
Own capability assessment and solution framing on complex, high-value opportunities where the client's requirements are ambiguous, the capability landscape is broad, or the competitive stakes are elevated.
Operate effectively in senior client environments – including VP and C-suite collaborator conversations – as a credible, results-focused technical advisor, not just a product expert.
Lead structured technical discovery that separates real requirements from noise, identifies where we have genuine capability fit, and surfaces the assumptions that must be managed before we commit.
Develop and deliver product demos and capability deep-dives that allow the sales narrative to shine through and become tangible – calibrated to the specific priorities and sophistication of each audience.
Work closely with Solutions Consulting, Value Consulting, and Pursuit Operations to ensure the technical and capability dimensions of our proposals are accurate, coherent, and client-relevant.
Make confident triage and feasibility calls independently, avoiding the need for others' attention on blocking issues. This keeps complexity at the pre-sales layer and speeds up pursuits with fewer late surprises.
Bring market and client intelligence back into the commercial organization, flagging patterns across pursuits that inform how we position, package, and prioritize.
Serve as an informal reference point for other Sales Engineers on high-difficulty questions – not as a manager, but as the practitioner whose judgment carries weight.
Partner closely with key members of our Delivery, Product Management, Engineering, and Client Services organizations.
Qualifications
Who You Are
What you'll bring with you:
A sustained track record of winning complex, high-value enterprise deals in a pre-sales or sales engineering capacity; not just supporting them but shaping how they were approached and won.
The ability to move with confidence when the brief is unclear. You ask the right questions, make defensible calls on incomplete information, and don't wait for someone else to frame the problem.
Exceptional client presence at senior levels. You're equally comfortable in a technical deep-dive and an executive business review – and you know which one is called for.
Strong commercial instincts. You understand what moves deals forward, where risk lives, and how to structure a capability conversation that serves the pursuit strategy, not just the product catalog.
Deep curiosity about client problems. You're genuinely interested in understanding how a client's business works before you talk about how we can help – and that shows up in the quality of your discovery.
The credibility and communication skills to align cross-functional teams – SC, VC, Delivery, Product – around a coherent pre-sales position on the deals that matter most.
15+ years of experience in pre-sales, sales engineering, or a highly consultative sales role, with direct ownership of complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise opportunities.
Why you might stand out from other candidates:
You've been the person other pre-sales practitioners come to with the hard questions – not because it was your job, but because your judgment has consistently proven right.
You can walk into an enterprise prospect's boardroom and hold the room – not through slides, but through the quality of your thinking and the confidence of your perspective.
You have a pattern of turning ambiguous, high-risk opportunities into structured, winnable pursuits – and you can articulate how you did it.
You understand that the best pre-sales work isn't technical theater. It's the disciplined process of helping clients see their own problem more clearly and believe we're the right partner to solve it.
You thrive in complex portfolio environments – where the answer requires drawing on a broad and evolving set of capabilities, not a fixed product set you've always sold.
You can read a technical architecture, write a query, and hold a credible conversation with an engineer – without needing a translator. SQL, Python, APIs, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure aren’t foreign languages to you.
