About The Team
The Solutions Consulting team is an integral part of the Outreach Go-To-Market function. We focus on driving real business impact for customers by being both platform and domain experts. SCs are expected to understand our existing customer’s challenges and objectives - then guide them toward lasting solutions. We do this by partnering with other functions, internally (sales, professional services, product, engineering, success, marketing) and externally (partners). The ownership is tangible on this team - our customer’s pain is our pain and their win is our win.
