Sales Engineer (Hybrid)

Remote · Kenya Full-time

KnowBe4 is the global leader in Human Risk Management, trusted by over 70,000 organizations worldwide to secure their employees and AI agents for over 15 years. As a Sales Engineer, you'll bridge the gap between prospects' needs and the product's capabilities, demonstrating value during sales conversations and providing technical support throughout the sales process.

Responsibilities

  • Support sales reps in clear, engaging product demonstrations, assisting them in showcasing our platform's features and capabilities
  • Partner with sales representatives throughout the deal cycle to answer technical questions, address concerns about product limitations or integrations, and provide accurate information that keeps opportunities moving forward
  • Lead structured POV engagements following established guidelines, working directly with prospect teams to set up trials, ensure successful implementation, and demonstrate measurable results that prove our solution's impact
  • Participate in sales calls with strong listening skills to identify technical pain points, understand customer environments, and gather the information needed to position our solution effectively
  • Troubleshoot and research basic technical issues that arise during the sales process, escalating complex scenarios appropriately while ensuring prospects receive timely, accurate responses
  • Support Account Executives by understanding typical sales strategies, contributing technical perspectives during deal planning, and helping translate customer needs into product solutions that win business
  • Actively participate in training sessions, seek out additional learning resources, and build your expertise in both our product and the broader cybersecurity landscape to grow your effectiveness over time

Skills

  • 1+ year of presales experience or equivalent combination of technical and sales experience, preferably in cybersecurity, SaaS, or technology environments where you've supported customer-facing sales activities
  • Strong technical foundation in cybersecurity or related fields—you understand security concepts well enough to discuss threats, compliance, and technical architecture credibly with IT and security teams
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences—you write professional emails, deliver confident presentations, and know how to adjust your message based on who you're talking to
  • Natural organization and follow-through - you manage multiple customer engagements simultaneously, track action items without prompting, and take ownership of commitments you make to prospects and teammates
  • Collaborative mindset with strong interpersonal skills; you build rapport easily, work effectively alongside sales representatives, and actively contribute to team success
  • Growth orientation —you're genuinely interested in developing your skills, welcome feedback, and take initiative to learn new technologies and sales methodologies
  • Familiarity with security awareness training, phishing simulation, or compliance management concepts
  • Experience with mail environments, Active Directory, or common IT infrastructure
