Role
Who you are
- Fluent in English and German, both spoken and written
- You have a passion for problem-solving and take pride in making customers successful
- You are consultative by nature, with excellent active listening and communication skills: you lead technical conversations with confidence, ask the right discovery questions, and distill complex concepts into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences
- You are proactive and display outstanding personal leadership: you define clear next steps, follow up relentlessly, leave no task unattended, and seek help when needed — learning from every issue solved
- You understand the basics of client/server communication and web technologies. Experience with JavaScript, HTML, SQL, or other programming languages is a strong advantage
- You are eager to work with a variety of e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Magento, Prestashop, etc.) and tag management solutions (Google Tag Manager, Tealium, Commanders Act). Experience with mobile app technologies and Mobile Measurement Partners (MMPs) is a plus
- Previous experience in a pre-sales, sales engineering, or technical consulting role is a plus; a background in online advertising, digital marketing, or a related B2B SaaS environment is preferred
What the job involves
- Integrated into the EMEA Technical Solutions team, you will be the technical face of Criteo for prospective and newly signed clients. Your role blends pre-sales consultancy with end-to-end integration ownership: you'll help win deals and then make sure the technology delivers on the promise
- Partner with New Business sales teams to qualify opportunities, create compelling product demonstrations, and deliver technical pitches that build client confidence in Criteo's solutions
- Assess clients' technical stack during the sales cycle and translate their business requirements into tangible technical solutions that showcase clear value
- Manage the entire client journey from pre-sales technical support through onboarding and integration, to eventual handover to the Technical Account Management team
- Own and manage the customer onboarding process from contract signature through to product activation and revenue generation
- Plan the integration strategy to minimize time-to-live, and motivate customers to act autonomously to ensure successful deployment of their Criteo campaigns
- Test and troubleshoot the client's implementation, providing clear feedback to the client's engineering team
- Coordinate integration and technical tasks across internal teams, working closely with Solution Engineer colleagues to escalate issues, ensure timely delivery, and meet client objectives
- Discover and analyze gaps in the customer experience that may lead to customer attrition; work cross-functionally to address them
- Empower clients, partners, and agencies to maximize the value of our platforms by providing tailored education on product features, best practices, and industry trends
- Leverage AI to speed up solution design, automate routine tasks, and enhance stakeholder interactions
- Stay current on industry trends and emerging technologies; contribute to improvements in integration methodology and internal tooling
Our take
Commerce marketing is a huge business with billions spent every year on adverts. And companies that help businesses create and deliver more targeted adverts can command a lot of value. Criteo is one such company operating in this space.
Criteo is a personalised retargeting company connecting marketers and media owners through its Commerce Media Platform, delivering richer consumer experiences. Criteo uses machine-learning technology and data to drive performance, helping marketers and media owners reach their goals.
As marketers are increasingly looking for commerce media solutions, Criteo is operating in a sought-after space. Further, around 73% of media owners seek to optimise media performance as a way to both generate awareness and drive revenue, meaning the company has a significant potential client base. Criteo has continued to make headway here, driving 5 billion ads per day, and is well set to see further adoption of its platform.
