Smart Proposal Specialist

If you've spent years turning complex technical specs into winning proposals - pricing configurations, navigating tender requirements, and bridging the gap between what engineering knows and what sales needs to close the deal - this role was written with you in mind. Quoting Engineers, Technical Proposal Specialists, Bid Managers: the skills you've built the hard way are exactly what's needed here. The difference is that now, you'll also shape the AI agents that do it at scale. Role: Sales Engineer, AI Agents for EV Charging RFPs & Tenders Location: Charlotte, North Carolina - global role with remote flexibility About the Role We're looking for a Sales Engineer to design, build, and operate AI agents that help our sales and proposals teams win complex EV charging infrastructure RFPs and tenders - the kind involving multi-site deployments, mixed product portfolios, utility interconnection constraints, and dozens of technical and commercial evaluation criteria. This is a hybrid role: part sales engineering (you understand charging hardware, site blueprints, and how a technical proposal gets built and priced), part applied AI (you can configure, prompt, and integrate AI agents into real proposal workflows), and part systems integrator. You'll work hands-on with platforms that build industry-specific AI agents for sales engineering and quoting in complex manufacturing and CRM as a system of record. You'll sit close to sales, translating the realities of how RFPs get evaluated and won into agent workflows that make proposal turnaround faster, more accurate, and more consistent - without losing the judgment that a strong sales engineer brings to a six- or seven-figure tender. What You'll Do Partner directly with sales, proposal, and solutions teams to understand how complex EV charging RFPs are scoped, evaluated, and won - then translate that expertise into requirements for AI agents. Support live RFP responses by reviewing agent-generated outputs, correcting technical and commercial content, and ensuring submissions meet tender requirements. Configure and extend AI agent workflows that support RFP intake, requirement extraction, product/site blueprint matching, pricing assembly, and proposal drafting. Own the integration between agent tooling, proposal intake, opportunity data, SSR routing, and downstream systems - ERP/SAP, master data, document generation. Act as the technical bridge between the sales organization and internal IT/Salesforce administrators, translating proposal-team pain points into system and agent requirements. Build and maintain reusable prompt libraries, decision logic, and product/site "blueprints" (e.g., standard mission profiles, configuration rules) that agents draw on when assembling proposals. Track and report on agent performance against proposal KPIs (turnaround time, blueprint match rate, configuration accuracy, conversion rate, pricing…
