About the Organisation
Marqeta is on a mission to change the way money moves. We’re one of the earliest enablers of embedded finance, a market opportunity sized up in the trillions. Our card issuing platform provides unprecedented flexibility and control for companies to issue cards, authorize transactions, and manage payment operations in real time. Marqeta is powering the most well known brands in the new economy (Block, Cash App, Affirm, Instacart, Doordash, Uber, Walmart, etc). You don’t need to be a Payments expert to join the Marqeta Team, let us help you with that. This is the opportunity of a lifetime to work with innovators around the world and unlock equitable financial access for all.
Key Responsibilities
This role is about generating and closing new opportunities, while playing a key role supporting the Business Development Team - here are a few key expectations:
- Lead Technical Overview and Solution Discovery: Early in the Sales process you’ll present Marqeta’s technical capabilities to our customers’ product and engineering stakeholders as part of the broader vision of a Marqeta solution.
- Designing Solutions: As a deal matures you’ll partner with Solutions Architects, Product Managers and other key internal teams to refine the Marqeta solution best suited to meet the customer’s goals.
- Technical Consulting for Long-term Success: When we close the deal, you’ll be the client’s trusted technical advisor and their bridge to our implementation team. Solutions Engineering is foundational to our clients’ technical success by ensuring they are prepared, properly resourced, and supported with expert technical consulting at the critical early phases of their engagement with us.
- Represent the ‘voice of the customer’: Solutions Engineering is primarily a customer-facing role, but we also play a pivotal role in the development and rollout of new products and services as we are often the first point of contact for our customers’ technical inquiries.
