Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing CVE team; set clear expectations, inspect customer work, and build technical and value skills, career growth, and shared practices.
• Shape global CVE strategy, standards, and measures with leadership peers; bring U.S. customer and field evidence, recommend improvements, and translate agreed direction into practical U.S. execution.
• Own U.S. coverage, prioritization, and routine resource decisions; align capacity to qualified opportunities based on strategic value, complexity, partner involvement, and delivery risk, escalating material cross-region or global tradeoffs.
• Coach CVEs to turn customer priorities into clear problem statements, value hypotheses, measurable outcomes, and evidence plans for executive, business, and technical stakeholders.
• Set expectations for decision-criteria-led solution validation, demonstrations, workshops, and proofs of value; assess technical and value fit, surface gaps and risks early, and help teams build decision-ready opportunities with credible evidence and a feasible delivery path.
• Bring sufficient technical depth to coach solution fit across Planview’s broad, complex portfolio and selectively model technical discovery, validation, or a purposeful demonstration in strategic or complex engagements—without becoming the default deal owner.
• Preserve customer outcomes, assumptions, and value evidence through implementation handoffs and ongoing value realization; clarify lifecycle accountabilities with Professional Services and Customer Value Advisors, and intervene selectively when risk or complexity warrants.
• Establish a performance-review cadence and reliable measures for individual and team effectiveness, sales-play impact, engagement quality, capacity and resource allocation, and customer and commercial outcomes; partner with Revenue Operations to set baselines and use data to coach and improve decisions.
• Turn recurring customer evidence, value patterns, and objections into improvements to team enablement, engagement practices, and global standards.
• Join strategic customer meetings, executive discussions, discovery sessions, workshops, and selected demonstrations to coach CVEs and strengthen customer outcomes—while keeping opportunity ownership with the Account Executive.
• Partner with Sales and Marketing on field events, customer forums, and relevant communities or conferences, such as SAFe and PMI events.
• Work with regional sales leaders and Account Executives to understand market needs, support qualified opportunities, and make the CVE team’s expertise accessible across the field.
• Regular travel to meet customers and support team and field events, with occasional international travel for global leadership meetings. Expected travel is approximately (25%)

Qualifications

• Significant experience in Customer Value Engineering, Value Engineering, Solution Consulting, presales, technical consulting, enterprise SaaS, management consulting, or a related customer-facing discipline.
• Demonstrated experience leading, coaching, and developing customer-facing technical or value-oriented professionals, with accountability for performance and growth.
• A strong technical foundation to assess solution fit across a broad product portfolio, coach technical validation and customer-centered demonstrations, and engage selectively in complex customer situations.
• Understanding of work and resource management, portfolio planning, enterprise agile, value stream management, or related transformation domains—or the ability to learn them quickly.
• A track record guiding complex enterprise opportunities through discovery, technical validation, executive engagement, and customer investment decisions, connecting customer needs to measurable outcomes and realistic delivery paths.
• Experience defining and using measures to improve individual and team performance, evaluate sales plays, and guide coverage and resource allocation.
• Strong commercial judgment, executive communication, and cross-functional influence; able to delegate, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and develop accountable teams.

Whether you meet all of these qualifications or not, we encourage you to apply if you believe your background may be a fit.
