About the role
At Roadrunner, we're replacing the broken CPQ software that Sales teams have complained about, worked around, and given up on for years. Not improving it - replacing it. We're building a new agentic stack called PQA - Prompt, Quote, Approve, designed for the enterprise, on a data model built for how pricing actually works today. We're Kleiner Perkins' first incubation since Glean, led by second-time founders with successful exits, and a team of engineers from Snowflake, Databricks, Citadel, Meta, Robinhood, Brex, and so on. We're in-person in San Francisco, and we're just getting started.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical side of the sales cycle - discovery, demos, and POCs - and be the reason deals get to a technical win.
- Partner with Account Executives to qualify opportunities and build credibility with both technical and business stakeholders.
- Translate prospect requirements into compelling solution narratives that map Roadrunner's PQA capabilities to how their quoting and pricing actually works.
- Feed structured field insights back to Product and Engineering: objections, integration gaps, competitive patterns.
- Build reusable assets - demo environments, battlecards, POC templates - that make the whole GTM team sharper
Requirements
- Experience in sales engineering or solutions consulting, with a track record of owning the technical motion on enterprise deals.
- Sharp demo instincts: you can read a room, handle live objections, and keep an evaluation moving.
- Familiarity with CRM and CPQ systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP CPQ, or similar) and a solid grasp of enterprise quoting, pricing, and approval workflows.
- Comfortable with API-based integrations - can read documentation, troubleshoot data flows, and work hands-on with a customer's engineering team.
- Strong communicator: equally effective translating technical architecture to a CFO and business requirements to an engineer.
