The Business Value team is a strategic team that is geographically aligned within the HashiCorp Sales Revenue organisation and supports opportunity pursuits within our top accounts. We help our customers understand and document the “why act” and “why act now”. We also act as the vanguard of value at Hashicorp, sharing, scaling and evangelising the business value of Hashicorp to the field organisation. This in turn raises the level of value selling and value realisation across HashiCorp.
This individual will help our mostly DACH customers maximise the impact of their investments in HashiCorp. Members of the Customer Value team enjoy a broad and dynamic set of responsibilities.

- Engage programmatically with Regional Sales Leadership to qualify/select high value opportunities, and build a plan to engage on each of those to help create the proper customer validated collateral to drive deal acceleration and increased transaction size
- Drive consistent and repeatable processes to strategically and financially support decisions for our largest opportunities.
- Drive the Strategic Pursuits cadence process with things like Big Deal Reviews 2x quarterly with regional leaders to ensure we are making appropriate progress against those, and that we have the proper customer focused financial outcomes documented as a part of the proposal and selling document(s)
- Drive strategic deal thinking, best practice sharing and extended team collaboration
- Work with Sales Enablement to build out proper training content to ensure maximum usage and value
- Ensure we are going back and “Validating the Value” associated with the outcomes we committed, and then ensuring customers are willing to be public references and included anecdotally in value oriented collateral
What you’ll need
- 5-7 years of formal value consulting/management/advisory experience
- Professional proficiency level in English and German

- Demonstrated coaching and mentoring experience
- Excellent content creation and presentation skills
- Proven collaboration capabilities
