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.

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.

• 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 & 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 & 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.
