Enterprise Solutions Engineer - SLED

About The Role We’re seeking a sharp, trusted, and highly autonomous Enterprise Solutions Engineer to help drive NinjaOne’s expansion into the State, Local, and Education (SLED) market. This is a builder role—your chance to shape how we engage complex public sector accounts, scale technical wins, and define what great looks like in enterprise pre-sales. You’ll own the full technical sales cycle—from discovery and architecture through proof-of-concept and implementation—while partnering closely with Account Executives to influence deal strategy and deliver measurable impact. You won’t just run demos—you’ll build the playbooks, tools, and repeatable processes that help us scale. If you’ve helped grow a SLED-focused B2B SaaS business, thrive in high-stakes environments, and want your work to directly shape the next chapter of NinjaOne’s growth, we’d love to hear from you.  Location: We are flexible on remote work from home if you reside in one of the following U.S. states: CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, *IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, NC, NJ, NY, OR, TN, TX, VA & WA.  Travel Requirement: Up to 30% including strategic customer meetings, industry events, and team collaboration.  What You’ll Be Doing 

• Own the full pre-sales technical experience for SLED and enterprise accounts—guiding prospects through evaluation, product demos, architecture design, and proof-of-concept stages. 
• Collaborate closely with Account Executives and Sales Leadership to drive public sector growth and align technical value to agency and institutional goals. 
• Partner with onboarding and Customer Success teams to accelerate time-to-value and ensure long-term adoption across large, distributed public environments. 
• Support the review and alignment of technical content within RFPs and RFIs, providing subject matter expertise and compliance insight, without owning full proposal management.

• Build and maintain reusable technical assets including lab environments, demo flows, battlecards, and scripts to support a scalable AE-to-SE model. 
• Represent NinjaOne at government and education-focused events, conferences, and customer forums.

• Comfortable navigating complex IT ecosystems and integrating with existing infrastructure. 
• Experience with Salesforce, Jira, Highspot, or equivalent systems is required.
