Pre Sales solutions consultant

Solutions Consultant eCommerce & Data Science

Naperville IL (Hybrid Naperville Chicago)

Full-time


About the role

This is not a traditional sales role. You will be the technical face of one of our two practices eCommerce or Data Science / AI running demos leading webinars presenting at industry events and converting technical conversations into pipeline. You will own your demo environment end-to-end stand up POCs without leaning on an architect and translate platform and solution capability into business outcomes for buyers ranging from Head of Digital Director of eCommerce and Director of Data through to the CIO and CTO.



eCommerce replatforming headless and composable commerce and POCs spanning mid-market and enterprise buyers including both established retailers and digitally-native brands.
Data Science / AI POCs and use-case discovery across machine learning generative AI MLOps and data platform modernization for enterprise customers.


A typical week includes two or three live demos in your sandbox one webinar or partner event discovery calls with prospects sourced through marketing and your own outbound and ongoing collaboration with our delivery teams to feed real implementation patterns back into your pitch. Lead generation today is driven heavily by the events and webinars our Solutions Consultants run so what you build directly shapes the pipeline.

What were looking for

Two to three years in solutions consulting sales engineering technical pre-sales or technical consulting tied to either modern eCommerce platforms or data science and AI tooling. We are platform-agnostic on candidate background what matters is that you understand your domain end-to-end and can hold a credible conversation across architecture integrations and business value.

You can deliver a demo unaided and you are comfortable doing it in front of a room. You communicate with the polish of someone who has spent time in front of executive buyers. A masters degree (MBA MS or similar) is strongly preferred we recruit actively from Kellogg Booth and comparable work authorization without ongoing sponsorship is preferred.

Relevant backgrounds by track:


eCommerce track: Shopify Plus BigCommerce Adobe Commerce (Magento) Salesforce Commerce Cloud commercetools SAP Commerce Oracle Commerce or comparable enterprise commerce platforms.
Data Science / AI track: Python and SQL fluency; hands-on exposure to ML and AI workflows; comfort with platforms such as Snowflake Databricks AWS SageMaker Azure ML Google Vertex AI or LLM tooling (OpenAI Anthropic Hugging Face); awareness of MLOps patterns. A data science statistics or ML engineering background is welcome provided the candidate has client-facing instincts.


Who this role is not for

This role is not the right fit if your background is primarily individual-contributor engineering or data science work with no client-facing experience or if you have been a quota-carrying AE without hands-on technical depth. We are looking for the rare profile in the middle technical enough to own the demo commercial enough to own the conversation.
