About the Role

Responsive is seeking a Senior Solutions Consultant who blends master‑level storytelling with deep technical credibility in Generative AI and Agentic AI.

• Deliver compelling first‑ and second‑call demos and tailor deeper technical sessions by segment (SMB/MM/Enterprise/Majors); use self‑guided demo “leaves” and analytics to shorten time‑to‑prove.
  
  

• Partner with Demo Engineering/Programs to keep environments and test‑data fixtures reliable and reusable; log breakage and drive continuous improvement.

• Scope POCs with clear acceptance criteria, timelines, and success metrics; manage stakeholders, risk, and ROI to maximize POC→close conversion.

• Support Account Managers on expansion plays by diagnosing adoption gaps, quantifying impact, and positioning roadmap/AI capabilities to unlock additional value.

• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Bring structured field feedback to Product and PMM teams

• Improve time‑to‑qualified demo and overall deal conversion %, increase demo reuse rate, and maintain accurate technical stages and risks in forecast.
