About the Customer Success & Solutions Engineering Team

Mixpanel’s Customer Success & Solutions Engineering teams are analytics consultants who embed themselves within our enterprise customer teams to drive our customer’s business outcomes. We work with prospects and customers throughout the customer journey to understand what drives value and serve as the technical counterpart to our Sales organization to deliver on that value.

You will partner closely with Account Executives, Account Managers, Product, Engineering, and Support to successfully roll out self-serve analytics within our customer’s organizations, help the customer manage change, execute on technical projects and services that delight our customers and ultimately drive ROI on the customer’s Mixpanel investment.

About the Role

Our SEs are inquisitive, nimble, and able to clearly articulate the technical benefits and requirements of Mixpanel to developers and product managers, while also communicating the business value of our product to high-level executives.

In your first month, you’ll become a Mixpanel expert—both in features and functionality as well as implementation. You’ll have the opportunity to shadow customer calls and demos with current Sales Engineers and Account Executives while learning to articulate our value proposition. You’ll also be trained on Mixpanel’s internal systems and tools to set you up for success.

Within your first three months, you’ll be directly involved in deal cycles with Commercial Account Executives. You’ll lead the technical qualification for customer use cases and deliver customized demos for prospects. You’ll work directly with leadership at the prospect’s organization to understand business challenges that can be solved through an analytics platform and consult on how Mixpanel can address those challenges to achieve a strong ROI.

You’ll also work with the prospect’s business and technical teams to scope and execute proof-of-concept projects to establish Mixpanel’s value—including consulting on data ingestion methods, overall architecture, success criteria, and rollout strategies for analytics tools across an organization.
