Solutions Engineer, Corporate Sales

D2L is a cloud company that is modernizing education and building the Future of Work. The old models of teaching and learning are in the midst of the largest transformation in history, and D2L is at the heart of that fundamental shift. New models of teaching and learning enable a personalized, student‑centric experience – and deliver improved retention, engagement, satisfaction, and results for learners of all ages – in schools, campuses, and companies. D2L is disrupting the way the world learns by providing the next generation learning environment and solutions to engage and inspire learners. And most importantly, by giving customers a platform that is easy, flexible, and smart. No other company provides a solution as robust and innovative as D2L. D2L has had a singular mission for 25 years and is dedicated to that same mission in the years ahead: to transform the way the world learns – and by doing so, we will help improve human potential globally. About This Role As a Solutions Engineer, you’ll spend every day helping those around you get the most out of D2L products and services. You’ll help prospective clients and educators by learning about their unique needs and proposing solutions including D2L products and services to meet those needs. Your passion for teaching and learning makes people want to open up to you, and your expertise in learning technology and how to accomplish nearly anything using the D2L platform makes you a trusted advisor. You’re excited to speak to everyone from students and instructors to a CIO, Professors, Vice Chancellors or Chancellors, and your demos and presentations provoke gasps of amazement, if not outright applause.

Conduct needs analysis sessions with prospects to understand their infrastructure, needs and potential customisations they may require. Provide feedback to product management teams regarding use cases and trends in the field. Create technical documentation and materials as required for your prospects. Be the conduit through which internal SMEs are contacted and engaged in sales opportunities. Attend sales presentations, meetings, and conferences as required (travel 25‑50%), and be willing to work various hours across North America from PST to EST. Engage in proposal writing – review requirements, identify optimal product mix, address gaps and assess competitive alignment, culminating in the creation of clear, concise responses.
