Why You'll Love This Role

Value Engineering is a consultative team that supports the Cribl sales and GTM organization and engages customers to explore the business value of Cribl. We deliver high-touch customer engagements while building content, frameworks, tools, processes and best practices to help sellers independently develop the business case for Cribl. In this highly cross-functional role, you'll collaborate with teams from sales, solutions engineering, product marketing, and customer success. Approximately 80% of your time will be focused on customer engagements and ~20% of your time will be working on broad GTM and value selling scale projects. Together, we'll drive value selling across the GTM organization, directly contributing to:

• Boosting win rates,

• Speeding up sales cycles,

• Reviving dormant opportunities,

• Increasing deal sizes, and

• Enhancing deal margins.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

Value Engineering Values

As a Value Engineering team we breathe, eat and drink the four key values below …

• Demonstrate Accountability & Extreme Ownership: Proactively identify challenges and drive solutions. Do not call out a problem without proposing a solution or framework to find a solution. We are all equity holders - act like an owner.

• Manage Ambiguity & Complexity: Like pioneers crossing the great plains, we must thrive in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) world. We utilize frameworks and curiosity to break down complex business problems into clear, actionable insights.

• Embracing a Continuous Improvement Mindset: Continuously push the envelope. "What is 'done'?" It is the enemy. We are OBSESSED with pushing the envelope. Status Quo? Don’t know her. Our competitors always get a say so even when we are operating at the top of our game, there is a need to continue to push the envelope and improve on the margins to stay on top

• Consistently acting with speed & accuracy: Operate with a bias for action, purpose, and intention. Time is our enemy.
