About the Role:
Value Engineering is a newly established team focused on driving revenue growth by engaging stakeholders in business outcome discussions.

Our core focus is supporting pre-sales pursuits to justify deal investments and expand opportunities, in partnership with Sales and Solution Engineering.

We also periodically support post-sales pursuits to drive adoption and renewal, in partnership with Customer Success.

While our goal is to engage with business stakeholders, we might initially interact with technical stakeholders as an entry point to reach their business counterparts.


What you'll be doing:
Build Camunda’s VE Services and Assets
- As the 2nd hire to the VE team, you will help build the foundational services, assets and processes.

This includes developing standardized, reusable assets for our services (i.e. service overviews, processes, financial models, sample deliverables), establishing internal processes and tools (i.e. GTM reporting, VE request process, Value asset repository) and supporting onboarding of new VE team members, helping them to ramp on our methodology, service delivery, and internal processes.


Evangelize and Drive Adoption of VE with GTM teams
- As a new team, VE requires internal advocacy to drive awareness, buy-in and adoption across GTM.

You will continuously communicate the “what, why and when” of VE services, informally coach account teams on VE services and framing business outcomes with industry insight to elevate their customer conversations, and deliver quick wins that demonstrate impact and build momentum.


Deliver VE Services with Customers
- A goal is driving revenue growth by engaging in business outcome-focused conversations.

You will partner with account teams to identify opportunities for VE, lead both technical (i.e. TCO analysis) and business-focused (i.e. value proposition, strategic roadmap) VE engagements through research, workshop facilitation, process mapping and value analysis (ROI, NPV).

You’ll also develop executive-ready deliverables that show how Camunda enables business transformation and delivers value, and present recommendations to stakeholders, securing buy-in and elevating Camunda’s strategic positioning.


Be a trusted advisor
- Your success will come from elevating Camunda’s value story, gaining stakeholder buy-in and guiding business outcomes.

You will build trust by delivering consistently in VE engagement, provide industry-focused POVs across deliverables and discussions, and influence stakeholders through a consultative selling approach that frames business opportunities and drives outcomes.

Post-deal, you’ll stay periodically engaged to support long-term transformation.
