- Support sales specialists during customer conversations
- Help translate customer needs into simple technical requirements
- Learn how to position BT’s security portfolio in a compelling way
- Stay up to date on BT’s security portfolio and new technologies, sharing learning with the team
- Work closely with senior Sales Engineers who will coach and develop you

Experience Required

- Experience engaging directly with customers in technical conversations
- Clear communication and the ability to explain complex ideas confidently
- Ability to work autonomously and show initiative
- Familiarity with enterprise technology environments
- Either hold or working towards relevant certifications (e.g. SSCP, CompTIA Security+, CCNP Security, vendor-specific accreditations) are desirable

DON'T MEET EVERY SINGLE REQUIREMENT?

Studies have shown that women and people who are disabled, LGBTQ+, neurodiverse or from ethnic minority backgrounds are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single qualification and criteria.

We're committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace where everyone can be their best, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement on the Job Description, please apply anyway - you may just be the right candidate for this or other roles in our wider team.
