Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind. To turn presentations into conversations. Through real-time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage and become more productive.

And that successful leaders need to adopt a curious and collaborative mindset in order to get there. So with you at Mentimeter, you’ll be a big part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn and work better together. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMER HIRING NOTICE: DUE TO SUMMER VACATIONS, WE WILL BEGIN THE REVIEWING AND INTERVIEWING PROCESS FOR THIS ROLE FROM AUGUST. HOWEVER, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some people are technical but wish they were closer to the commercial side. Others are great in sales environments but struggle when the conversation gets technical. The person we are looking for is neither - you’re genuinely at home in both worlds. That's who we're looking for. You'll be joining Mentimeter's Strategic Accounts team - a sales team working with our most complex, high-value enterprise customers. You'll sit alongside Key Account Managers and Customer Success Managers, acting as their technical partner in deals, renewals, and expansions. When an enterprise IT team needs convincing, when a security review is holding up a contract, or when a customer's technical setup isn't working for them - that's when you step in. You'll be the first person in this role across EMEA, which means you'll have real scope to shape how we do Sales Engineering in Strategic Accounts. There's no predefined playbook. If you need one, this probably isn't the right role. But if you're energised by building something from scratch, it's a rare opportunity. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Partner with Strategic Key Account Managers in enterprise deals - owning the technical dimension of commercial conversations and helping move things forward when security, IT, or procurement are in the room * Lead enterprise onboarding and setup for our most important customers: SSO, SCIM, domain control, workspace architecture, and integrations * Engage directly with senior IT and security stakeholders, earning their confidence and translating their requirements into workable solutions * Spot and resolve the technical blockers that slow down adoption, expansion, or renewal - before they become a problem * Help the account team understand the commercial implications of technical decisions, not just the technical ones * Feed patterns and recurring challenges back to our Product department in a structured way that actually influences the roadmap * Raise the technical floor of the wider sales organisation through documentation and informal coaching WHO YOU ARE * You've spent 2+ years in a customer-facing technical role at a SaaS company - Solutions Consulting, Pre-sales, Implementation Consulting, or similar * You understand enterprise IT environments well enough to hold a credible conversation: identity providers, SSO, SCIM, security reviews, and how large organisations actually make decisions * You have a commercial mindset - you understand that how Mentimeter is set up has direct implications for account health, expansion, and retention, and you think in those terms * You thrive in a sales environment. You enjoy the pace, the commercial focus, and being a part of retaining and growing deals * You're highly self-directed. You don't need a manager to tell you what to do next - you read the situation and act * You communicate clearly across audiences: technically credible with IT teams, business-relevant with executives, collaborative with your sales colleagues * Professional-level English is a must; additional languages are a bonus WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT * Not a technical support or ticket-handling function * Not responsible for driving adoption or usage (owned by Customer Success) * Not responsible for commercial negotiations or account ownership (owned by Key Account Managers) RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOU * A close-knit Strategic Accounts team of KAMs and CSMs who will rely on you as a genuine partner * Sales Operations, Sales Enablement, and Business Development support * A strong toolstack: Salesforce, Notion, Mixpanel, Looker, Claude, NotebookLM, PlanHat, Braze, and more   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📍 LOCATION: This role is based onsite at our Stockholm HQ.

Learn more about our benefits by visiting our Benefits & Perks page AI and Hiring at Mentimeter At Mentimeter, we believe AI helps us work smarter - but it never replaces the human assessment, curiosity, and personal connection that define our culture and our hiring. We use AI as a sparring partner: to bounce ideas, bring new perspectives, support structure, and make our work more efficient. But the meaning, decisions, and interactions always come from people. * AI does not screen or decide on candidates. *  There is no automated filtering, ranking, or decision-making in our recruitment process. Every application is reviewed by a person. * Hiring teams may use AI to support their work - for example, to structure notes, prepare interview questions, or organize their thinking. AI strengthens our work, but it does not define it. At Mentimeter, we’re not building an AI-driven hiring process - we’re building a people-first culture, where technology helps us listen, learn, and grow together. Culture at Mentimeter At Mentimeter we believe in giving everyone a voice - regardless of who you are. So we build a platform that does just that. Our platform is not only our product but also our organization. A platform where people feel safe, where differences are embraced, a place where you can have fun. We strongly encourage applicants who are people of color, LGBTQ+, women, people with disabilities, and/or formerly incarcerated people, and a college degree is not strictly required. In order to give everyone a voice, we need to be as diverse as our users. Learn more about our culture by visiting our Culture page. Review our Privacy Policy for more information.
