About the role
While this role is remote, the ideal candidate will be based in the DACH region.
Absolute Security is looking for a Sales Engineer (SE) to provide technical sales support as a solution expert within our fast-growing Managed Service Provider (MSP) business in the EMEA region. The SE is a highly technical sales professional who is responsible for working with Account Executives (AEs), Channel Account Managers (CAMs), and Business Development Managers (BDRs) to drive significant revenue growth within the region.
The SE plays a critical role in driving the technical sales process and enabling the success of our MSP ecosystem across the EMEA region. You will support both pre-sales engagements and partner enablement initiatives, helping MSPs onboard, deploy, and operationalize Absolute Security’s Secure Endpoint and Secure Access solutions within their managed offerings.

- Collaborate with Product Management and Partner Enablement teams to provide feedback from the field and contribute to continuous improvement of the MSP technical experience
- Support regional events and partner training sessions, representing Absolute as a trusted advisor in the MSP and cybersecurity ecosystem
- Stay current on emerging technologies, competitive positioning, and regulatory trends relevant to MSPs and enterprise cybersecurity
