What You Can ExpectIn this role, you will serve as the technical anchor of every pre-sales engagement across APJ, partnering with Account Executives, Customer Experience teams, and Channel Partners to translate complex enterprise requirements into compelling, tailored Workvivo solutions. You will lead consultative discovery sessions, deliver persona-based product demonstrations, and drive technical wins across Workvivo's full portfolio spanning Workvivo HQ, HQ Agent, Seer, Chat, Workvivo TV, and our integrations ecosystem. Fluency in both English and Japanese is essential: you will lead customer-facing engagements, executive briefings, and technical workshops in either language across a diverse region that includes Japan, Singapore, Australia, India, and Southeast Asia. You will report to the Regional Sales Leader in APJ, with a dotted line to the Global Head of Solutions. This is a hybrid position that requires on-site presence 2 days per week at our Singapore office. Remote arrangements are not available for this role.

What We're Looking For- 5+ years of experience in Solutions Engineering, Pre-Sales, Sales Engineering, or Technical Consulting within a SaaS organisation or the technology industry, or equivalent experience.
- Fluency in both English and Japanese, written and spoken, with demonstrated ability to lead customer-facing engagements, technical workshops, and executive presentations in either language.
- Proven track record supporting complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles with contributions to six-figure-plus ARR deal closures.
- Strong technical acumen across APIs, integrations, SSO/SAML, HRIS data flows, enterprise search, and AI/ML concepts, with the ability to communicate effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Exceptional presentation and storytelling skills, translating complex platform capabilities into compelling business narratives tailored to senior executive personas.
- Self-starter who operates with autonomy across a geographically dispersed region, managing competing priorities and multiple deal cycles simultaneously, with willingness to travel within APJ approximately 20-30% of the time.
