Role
Who you are
- Mission-oriented: You’re excited to work on a team that operates at the intersection of human talent and software; you want to put that passion to work in an industry that still skews heavily towards human/manual work. You want to work at a place where you can have an outsized impact
- Exceptional communicator: You’re a strong verbal communicator, able to capture an audience with clear and confident language. You can understand and empathize with people even if you have limited subject-matter knowledge of their area of expertise
- Technically proficient: You’re an expert at technical configuration and familiar with or have an appetite for learning, and you recognize that a willingness to develop technical skills is an important part of what makes SEs successful in their role as solution experts
- Team player: You can work effectively in teams of technical and non-technical individuals. You are energized by collaborating with diverse teams
- Independent: You can learn and drive outcomes with minimal supervision. You have a bias toward action and gravitate towards environments where you have an outsized influence on the success of customers and colleagues. You are exceptionally good at making trade-offs based on incomplete data
- Experience: 5+ years of Enterprise Solution Engineering experience
What the job involves

- With a comprehensive understanding of Ironclad’s platform, SEs empower prospects to understand how Ironclad can work for them

- Listen to prospects' needs and goals. Listening is our #1 strength
- Design, build, and present custom demonstrations of the Ironclad platform using a prospect’s own contracts and workflows

- Partner with your aligned Sales Leader to support pipeline-generating activities and overall team success
Our take
Business contracting is often inefficient and messy, with approvals required from various stakeholders and many processes still paper-based. Ironclad is a platform that digitises, automates, and streamlines contract workflows, allowing legal teams to focus on legal work rather than paperwork. Its platform features collaborative tools that facilitate business operations and extract and catalogue contract metadata, making information easier to access and act upon. Its enterprise customers include Dropbox, Mastercard, Pixar, Fox, and L’Oréal.
Despite its success, Ironclad faces competition in the $3 billion contract lifecycle management industry from major players like DocuSign and emerging ones like Contractbook. The company recently announced Ironclad Signature, marking its entry into the $25 billion eSignature market. The new feature speeds up the signature process by an estimated 80% and provides summaries and approval histories to users. This new tool is expected to strengthen Ironclad's position in the sell-side contract lifecycle management market.
Additionally, Ironclad introduced value-based pricing, charging only for completed, signed agreements, unlike other providers who charge for every signature packet sent out. Ironclad, backed by investors like Accel, Sequoia, Y Combinator, and BOND, remains committed to innovating and maintaining its leadership in the contract lifecycle management space.
