Senior Value Engineer

This is a remote role based out of the United States

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:

1. Boosting win rates,
2. Speeding up sales cycles,
3. Reviving dormant opportunities,
4. Increasing deal sizes, and
5. Enhancing deal margins.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

• Engage, Consult and Influence: Partner with sales teams and customers, employing a value-based selling approach to create compelling narratives and business cases. You'll help the customer answer the 3 key questions: "Why change?", "Why Cribl?", and "Why now?"
• Lead Discovery Sessions: Conduct technical value discovery sessions with senior executives and technical staff, asking questions and providing insights that help shape their business case for Cribl.
• Craft Business Cases: Develop comprehensive business cases for new business, expansions, and cross-sell opportunities, as well as value realization analyses to propel renewals.
• Innovate and Build: Create value discovery questions, financial models, and frameworks for new use cases and products. Develop and maintain a value metrics database for internal and customer use.
• Empower Sales Teams: Enable our sales teams to become proficient with self-serve value content and tools, ensuring they can independently explore and communicate value to customers.
• Travel Opportunities: Enjoy a dynamic role that includes occasional travel (10% to 20%) throughout the year. There is the usual customer travel, but what you should really look forward to is Cribl Kickoff, which occurs over a week each year. It’s an incredible time to engage, learn and most importantly, have fun with other Criblians.
• We are a remote-first company and work happens across many time-zones – you may be required to occasionally perform duties outside your standard working hours

• Selling Expertise: Familiarity with Force Management, Challenger Selling, MEDDPPICC and 3 Why methodologies.

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.
