Solutions Engineer - Commercial Sector - Riyadh KSA
Cisco
Date: 1 day ago
City: Riyadh
Contract type: Full time

We are looking for a Solutions Engineer to join our Cisco KSA team. As a Solutions Engineer, you will work in a pre-sales capacity, providing technical expertise and support to our customers in Saudi Arabia. You will collaborate with the sales team to drive the sales strategy, deliver technical presentations, and ensure successful implementation of solutions for the Comemrcial Sector sales team in KSA
What You'll Do
As a Solution Engineer, you will provide technical support and guidance to customers, collaborating with the Account Manager to develop tailored solutions. You’ll define and communicate the benefits of Cisco's solutions, demonstrate ROI, and own the development of proof of concepts, presentations, and solution documentation.
Who You Are
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference. Here’s how we do it.
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (30 years strong!) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. An AI/Machine Learning company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!
But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)
Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, we give our egos a break and we give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, we take bold steps, and we take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a commitment to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool.
