## About Solink

Our cloud-based platform integrates seamlessly with your existing cameras and systems, turning them into intelligent sensors that detect and interpret key moments. This empowers teams to make data-driven decisions, enhance security, and improve operational efficiency. Trusted by over 30,000 locations across 32+ countries - including brands like McDonald’s and JYSK - Solink delivers clarity when it counts. Our solutions help businesses reduce shrink, optimize performance, and respond proactively to potential threats. We're growing rapidly, earning industry recognition, and scaling with purpose. We’ve been recognized by Deloitte’s Fast 50™ and Fast 500™, Business Intelligence Group, and as one of Ottawa’s Best Places to Work. And we’re just getting started!

## The Role

At Solink, our Sales Engineer's (SEs) are core contributors to the success of our customers and sales organization. This role is rooted in the pre-sales cycle, with a focus on driving value through discovery, storytelling, and tailored solution design. You will work in close partnership with Account Executives (AEs) to uncover customer needs, deliver compelling demos, and build solutions that align with both business and technical requirements. You will not be responsible for implementation or technical support. We are looking for individuals with a strong sales mindset and technical aptitude. The ideal candidate may come from an AE background and be eager to shift into a more technical and consultative role.

## What You’ll Do

- Partner with AEs during discovery to qualify deals by uncovering true customer needs, constraints, and buying drivers
- Own the technical narrative in sales conversations, ensuring a seamless transition from discovery to demo to solution proposal
- Deliver compelling, value-based demos to a variety of interlocutors that tell a clear and impactful story they can relate to
- Design and present Solink solutions that directly address the customer's environment, challenges, and goals
- Actively participate in sales calls and web conferences, and lead when appropriate to guide the technical conversation
- Provide clear documentation of technical requirements, constraints, and scope for handoff to deployment teams
- Contribute to quota attainment and revenue growth through your direct impact on deal progression
- Stay current on industry trends, relevant technologies, and Solink product capabilities to continuously elevate customer conversations

## Role Expectations

This is a P4 level role. At Solink, individuals at this level lead cross-functional initiatives and partner with colleagues and leaders to shape how work gets done. They combine independent execution with strategic thinking, helping others navigate complexity and improving the effectiveness of the broader team. In this role, you’ll be expected to:

- Lead projects by defining the approach, coordinating contributions, and keeping stakeholders aligned and informed.
- Anticipate risks and dependencies, adapting plans to deliver on commitments.
- Coach colleagues through complex problems and provide constructive feedback that strengthens outcomes.
- Develop processes, frameworks, or standards that improve team effectiveness and support broader adoption.
- Bring relevant industry insights and new knowledge into the team to support continuous improvement.

## What You Bring

Must-Have:

- Experience in sales, preferably as an Account Executive, Sales Engineer, or in a customer-facing technical role
- Strong understanding of technical concepts (software, hardware, networking, AI, etc.) with the ability to learn and apply them quickly
- Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, especially in live demo environments
- Ability to simplify complex technical ideas for non-technical audiences
- A consultative, customer-first mindset with a passion for solving real business problems
- Strong collaboration habits: you value partnership with AEs and the broader go-to-market team
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment

Nice-to-Have:

- Familiarity with tools like Salesforce, Confluence, and Google Workspace
- Previous experience in video surveillance, SaaS, or physical security industries
- Bilingual in English and French
- Experience working with networking or cloud-based architecture

Security Requirements

- Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire;
- Be a Canadian Citizen, or eligible to work in Canada;
- Be willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards.
