About Kojo
It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.
Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.
We’re looking for an amazing Sales Engineer who will communicate and assess the technical aspects of exactly how Kojo helps our customers achieve unparalleled effectiveness and efficiency.
About the Role
This role reports to the VP of Sales and works closely with the Sales team and Customer Success team.
This role will include:
Supporting Account Executives on demos that require additional technical support and/or integrations scoping
Deeply understanding the customer’s problems and clearly communicating our technical advantage
Advising prospective customers on how best to utilize Kojo’s features to accomplish their goals
Developing creative solutions to address as many requirements as possible
Evaluating and documenting customer requirements that are not currently met and communicating these opportunities to internal stakeholders (e.g. Product, Customer Success)
Maintaining the highest level of knowledge about the current and future state of the product
Collaborating with Sales Enablement to ensure the Sales team becomes aware of the latest product features and updates as well as continuous technical training and enablement
Establishing and maintaining high standards for demo environments to ensure they accurately reflect the capabilities and benefits of our solutions
