Pre-Sales Solution Consultant

About Shaman

Shaman is a high-growth B2B SaaS company helping pharmaceutical companies create compliant marketing & medical content in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Our platform replaces fragmented, agency-dependent content workflows with (self-service) authoring tools deeply integrated into Veeva and Salesforce ecosystems. We work with global pharma companies, including Novartis, Takeda, GSK, and Abbott, and we're scaling fast, with ambitious plans to become the category leader in pharma content excellence. This is a company where you build things that didn't exist before, and where your impact is visible from day one.

The Role

When meeting new prospects and clients, we inform them not only about the benefits of the tech solutions but also about how they work. We demonstrate how the SaaS platform would work in a client´s work environment and interact with other systems, such as Veeva PromoMats. You can imagine that these conversations have a commercial and informative component as well as a component that is mostly focused on the functions and features of the solutions, the technology side of things. In this context, the Pre-Sales Solutions Consultant works in tandem with the Sales person to showcase the capabilities of Shaman´s content authoring solutions. While working in tandem with the salesperson, you are responsible for giving the client or prospect the best impression of Shaman´s technical and organizational capabilities to serve the client's needs.

You will be expected to develop a deep understanding of our platform's functions and features, and how it interacts with Veeva PromoMats and other systems.

Clearly, you have to like software, technology ánd interacting with clients. You need to be able to communicate easily and pleasantly, and be fluent in translating technology into benefits.

More concretely, this means you will run daily remote demonstration sessions with clients on various SaaS solutions and follow up with clients and prospects on technical questions.

You will aim to develop a deep understanding of potential clients' content production workflows to align them with our tech solutions.

What You'll Do

Own the solutions demonstration

• Prepare and deliver tailored product demonstrations covering Veeva/Salesforce integration, AI content creation features, and end-to-end content workflows (the user-journeys)

• Adapt and maintain demo environments to reflect prospect-specific scenarios, data models, and use cases

• Present complex technical concepts clearly to mixed audiences of business and IT stakeholders

• Develop and maintain a library of demo environments, documentation, integration guides, and FAQ materials

Communication and presence

• Strong written communication skills for RFP responses, technical documentation, and internal knowledge sharing

Mindset

• Builder instinct: you see gaps in pre-sales tooling as opportunities and take initiative to fix them
