The Business Value Engineer role is intended to own, define, and execute Ironclad’s value-selling methodology across the customer lifecycle. This role is critical in bringing financial rigor and strategic storytelling to the sales process, ensuring our prospects and customers clearly understand the projected and realized impact of Ironclad’s technology. You will be responsible for the end-to-end value lifecycle—from initial discovery and financial modeling to executive-level presentations and post-sale value realization.

This role is cross-functional, partnering with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Marketing to ensure our value strategy drives revenue growth, deal velocity, and long-term customer success.

What you’ll do:

• Deal-Level Execution: Own the value strategy for complex deals by leading discovery-based sales processes to identify customer pain points and business objectives. Develop custom financial models (TCO, ROI) and defend them against CFO and procurement scrutiny.

• Process Analysis & Standardization: Map as-is workflows to identify inefficiencies and quantify metrics. Standardize advanced modeling methodologies (scenario-based, risk-adjusted) and build repeatable process frameworks for specific industries or functions.

• Strategic Programs: Lead multi-threaded value programs that extend beyond individual deals. Create prioritization frameworks for the team to focus the organization on the highest-impact paths.

• Sales Partnership & Influence: Provide informal coaching and share best practices across the team to raise the collective bar. Partner seamlessly with GTM and Sales Engineers (SEs) on deal strategy and sponsorship creation.

Who are you?

• Experience: 6+ years of experience in value engineering, management consulting, or software sales, with a track record of driving complex deal strategy.

• Financial Expertise: Deep experience in financial modeling, specifically developing custom business cases that detail the value of complex software solutions.

• Resilient & Adaptive: Proven ability to stay effective under ambiguity and adjust value narratives quickly based on customer feedback and shifting deal dynamics.

• Agile Problem Solver: Ability to guide teams on when to pivot approaches and teach others how to unblock value engagements with methodology when resources are limited.

• Strategic Storyteller: Demonstrated ability to identify patterns from CXO conversations to innovate and pilot new solutions that establish the team as a trusted advisor.

• Collaborative Leader: Extensive experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Sales Engineering, and gTech, to drive persuasive customer adoption.

Technical Rigor: Proficiency in mapping as-is workflows to identify inefficiencies and quantify metrics for "above-the-line" executive audiences.
