  • Build and maintain demonstration environments and assets to support sales engagements.
  • Translate solution value into clear business outcomes and ROI narratives for stakeholders and executives.
  • Support tenders, proposals, and sales strategies, including solution scoping and bill of materials. 
  • Collaborate with Product, Marketing, and Leadership to share customer insights and market feedback. 
  • Represent the organisation in webinars, industry events, and thought leadership activities. 
  • Work closely with Professional Services to ensure a smooth transition from presales to implementation.  
  • ### Your skills, experience and beyond:

    Technical & domain expertise 

  • Proven experience running solution workshops, discovery sessions, and business analysis activities. 
  • Strong understanding of software applications and solution architecture. 
  • Proven understanding of Local Government Planning Legislation and council planning schemes in Victori
  • Proven experience in Planning & Building systems or Local Government solutions (highly regarded).  
  • Business & consulting capability

  • Background in local government, public sector, or regulated industries.  
  • Proven experience supporting presales or implementing enterprise software solutions.  
  • Strong ability to facilitate workshops, present to stakeholders, and influence decision-making.  
  • Experience contributing to sales processes, proposals, and structured selling approaches.  
  • Personal attributes 

    • Confident communicator who can engage from operational users to executive stakeholders.  

    • Commercially minded with the ability to articulate value and outcomes.  

    • Curious, adaptable, and solutions-focused problem solver.  

    • Collaborative and able to work across Sales, Product, and Delivery teams.  

    Qualifications 

    • Degree in Planning, Business, IT, or related discipline (or equivalent experience). 

    ### What join Objective?
    • Opportunity to work on meaningful GovTech solutions that impact communities  

    • Exposure to complex, enterprise-level customer engagements  

    • A highly collaborative environment across Sales, Product, and Technology  

    • Ability to shape product direction and go-to-market strategy  

    • Career growth within a global organisation  

    If you do not tick every box, do not let that stop you. We value potential, learning agility, and diverse perspectives just as much as experience, and we encourage you to apply.
