Regional Pre-Sales, Value Engineering & Demo Excellence Lead
Enterprise Solutions for Leading Consumer Goods Companies in Latin America
We are looking for an exceptional Regional Pre-Sales, Value Engineering & Demo Excellence Lead with strong experience working with leading consumer goods / FMCG companies in Latin America.
This role is specifically focused on complex enterprise sales to major regional and multinational consumer goods companies — organizations such as Unilever, Mondelez, Clorox, Abbott, Nestlé, Alicorp, Kimberly-Clark, Softys, Beiersdorf, and other leading brands operating across the region.
We are not looking for a generalist pre-sales profile.
We want someone who understands how large consumer goods companies operate: regional structures, country operations, commercial teams, distributors, sell-in and sell-out, field execution, trade marketing, route-to-market, analytics, data integration, sales productivity, and the complexity of making decisions across multiple markets.
This is a senior role that combines pre-sales engineering, value engineering, commercial strategy, pricing, proposals, ROI, executive storytelling, and high-impact demonstrations.
The mission The mission of this role is to help us win larger, more strategic, and more valuable enterprise deals with the leading consumer goods companies in Latin America.
The successful candidate will help us:
- Increase the perceived and measurable value of our solutions.
- Build stronger enterprise proposals.
- Quantify ROI and financial impact.
- Develop better pricing strategies.
- Defend premium pricing.
- Increase deal size.
- Identify cross-sell and expansion opportunities.
- Improve executive presentations and demos.
- Strengthen the entire commercial and pre-sales team.
- Position our solutions as strategic regional platforms rather than isolated software tools.
What you will doStrategic Discovery Lead discovery sessions with customers to understand:
- Commercial strategy.
- Route-to-market models.
- Distributor operations.
- Sell-in and sell-out processes.
- Sales force productivity.
- Trade marketing execution.
- Incentives and promotions.
- Inventory and availability.
- Commercial analytics.
- Data integration.
- Decision-making processes.
- Regional versus local requirements.
- Existing technology landscape.
- Business KPIs and strategic priorities.
The goal is not simply to collect requirements. The goal is to understand where the customer is losing money, productivity, visibility, control, or growth opportunities.
Value Engineering & ROI
Build strong financial and strategic business cases for our solutions.
You will be expected to develop and defend:
- ROI models.
- TCO analysis.
- Payback calculations.
- Productivity improvements.
- Revenue uplift scenarios.
- Cost reduction scenarios.
- Sales execution improvements.
- Distribution efficiency improvements.
- Commercial visibility gains.
- Business cases for regional deployment.
- Value realization models.
You must be capable of explaining to a CFO, VP, Country Manager, or Procurement team why the investment makes financial sense. More importantly, you must help the commercial team understand how much value the solution creates and therefore how it should be priced.
Enterprise Proposals
Lead or support the development of high-value enterprise proposals for strategic customers.
This includes
- Executive presentations.
- Commercial proposals.
- Technical proposals.
- Solution architecture.
- Scope definition.
- Implementation approach.
- Business cases.
- ROI justification.
- Pricing models.
- Multi-year agreements.
- Regional rollout strategies.
- Pilot-to-enterprise conversion strategies.
Our contracts can involve several countries, business units, distributors, hundreds of users, multiple solutions, and multi-year commitments. The successful candidate must be comfortable operating in this environment.
Pricing & Commercial Strategy
Work with the commercial team to define pricing based on the value delivered to the customer.
You will help determine
- Setup fees.
- Recurring fees.
- Enterprise pricing.
- Multi-country pricing.
- Multi-year pricing.
- Usage-based components.
- Implementation fees.
- Pilot structures.
- Expansion models.

You will also challenge proposals that are underpriced or poorly positioned. We expect this role to help us answer a critical question:
What is this solution really worth to the customer?
Demo Excellence
Design and lead highly personalized demonstrations for strategic accounts.
Every important demo should be built around the customer's reality.
That means understanding
- Their market.
- Their brands.
- Their distribution model.
- Their commercial organization.
- Their KPIs.
- Their current problems.
- Their regional priorities.
The demonstration should not feel like a product tour. It should feel like the solution was designed specifically for that customer.
You will prepare
- Demo narratives.
- Scripts.
- Speeches.
- Executive messages.
- Discovery questions.
- Customer-specific scenarios.
- Use cases.
- Stories.
- Objection handling.

- Proof points.
Executive Communication You must be comfortable presenting to:
- Sales Directors.
- Commercial Directors.
- CIOs.
- CFOs.
- Country Managers.
- General Managers.
- Regional VPs.
- Digital Transformation leaders.
- Procurement.
- Data & Analytics teams.
- Executive committees.
You must be able to change the conversation depending on the audience. A CIO should hear a different story than a Sales Director.
A CFO should see different value than a Trade Marketing Manager.
A Regional VP should understand how the solution scales across countries.
Opportunity Development
We expect this role to actively detect opportunities during customer conversations.
A strong candidate should be able to identify:
- Problems the customer has not formally expressed.
- Additional use cases.
- Opportunities for regional expansion.
- Additional business units.
- Additional countries.
- Additional products.
- Adjacent problems we can solve.
- Opportunities to increase the strategic importance of the engagement.
The role should help transform a small opportunity into a larger enterprise relationship when the business case supports it. The profile we are looking for

Unilever, Mondelez, Clorox, Abbott, Nestlé, Kimberly-Clark, Beiersdorf, Alicorp, Softys, P&G;, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, AB InBev, Colgate-Palmolive, or similar FMCG organizations is highly valuable.
You should understand the dynamics of enterprise sales where:
- Opportunities can last several months.
- Multiple countries are involved.
- Local teams influence the decision.
