      <title>Service Management Solutions Specialist</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Behind every great customer experience is an amazing employee experience. At Zendesk, we&#39;re on a mission to power exceptional service for every person on the planet , and that starts from the inside out.</p>
<p>We&#39;re looking for a Service Management Solutions Specialist to be the champion for our Service Management business , across every function an enterprise serves, from IT and HR to Facilities, Finance, Legal, and Procurement. This is a hybrid role that blends genuine technical depth with real sales ownership. You will carry a number and drive deals to close, and you will personally own the technical conversation , running discovery, connecting the customer challenges to our solution, and demonstrating it with authority.</p>
<p><strong>The Impact (What You&#39;ll Actually Do)</strong></p>
<p>As our strategic subject matter expert for Service Management, you&#39;ll do something most roles split across two people: you&#39;ll win the deal and own the technical depth behind it. You will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Strategize on Sales Strategy: Partner with our core sales teams to drive Service Management opportunities from discovery to close , while carrying real responsibility for pipeline and bookings.</li>
<li>Run the Technical Discovery: Lead discovery with IT, HR, Facilities, Finance, and other service owners , mapping their current environment, integrations, workflows, and data model , to uncover the real requirements beneath the stated ones.</li>
<li>Assist in Architecting the Solution: Design Service Management solutions that solve genuine challenges across any service domain , workflow automation, service catalogs, approvals, SLAs, knowledge management, and AI-driven resolution , not just for IT, but for every team that delivers service to employees.</li>
<li>Demonstrate With Authority: Help craft and deliver compelling, domain-specific demonstrations and proofs-of-concept, tailored to the customer&#39;s actual use cases, that stand up to scrutiny from technical evaluators and service management practitioners alike.</li>
<li>Handle the Hard Questions: Navigate technical objections and competitive comparisons.</li>
<li>Empower the Team: Help educate and up-skill the regional sales organization on the full breadth of Service Management , the service domains, buyer profiles, and how to spot and qualify opportunities across the enterprise.</li>
<li>Shape the Product: Act as the vital bridge between the market and our product development team, turning real-world customer and technical feedback into next-generation product features.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Who You Are (Skills &amp; Mindset)</strong></p>
<p>We know that excellent talent comes from diverse backgrounds. For this role, we are looking for a genuine blend , someone who can carry a quota and hold their own in a technical discussion. The best candidates are equally comfortable talking business value with an economic buyer and workflow architecture with a service management practitioner. Someone with a growth mindset vs. fixed mindset.</p>
<p><strong>The Must-Haves</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Service Management Domain Expertise: Hands-on knowledge of enterprise service management across more than just IT , incident, problem, change, and request management, service catalogs, approvals, SLA design, and how service delivery works across functions like HR, Facilities, and Finance.</li>
<li>B2B SaaS Sales Experience: A proven track record in B2B SaaS sales, guiding clients through value-centric sales cycles with ownership of the outcome.</li>
<li>Technical Credibility: The ability to deliver product demonstrations, discuss integrations, APIs, and data models, and propose solutions that fit into a broader enterprise technology stack.</li>
<li>Strategic Communication: The ability to consult with key decision-makers, understand macro-level business needs across functions, and translate them into concrete, demonstrable technical solutions.</li>
<li>Complex Deal Navigation: Experience guiding clients through consultative, multi-stakeholder sales cycles where both business value and technical fit determine the outcome.</li>
<li>Collaboration Mindset: A team-first attitude with the desire to coach internal sellers, partner across functions, and win together.</li>
<li>Mobility: Willingness and ability to travel to customer locations when those face-to-face connections and on-site working sessions matter most.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Nice-to-Haves</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>ITIL Knowledge: ITIL Foundation certification or equivalent practical ITIL process knowledge.</li>
<li>Platform Background: Prior experience at or against a service management platform (ServiceNow, Freshservice, Jira Service Management, BMC, or similar), in a sales, pre-sales, or implementation capacity.</li>
<li>AI &amp; Automation: Familiarity with applying AI to service use cases , deflection, intelligent routing, knowledge retrieval, and autonomous resolution , across service domains.</li>
<li>Cross-Functional Service Depth: Foundational knowledge of Service &amp; Operations Management beyond IT , HR, Facilities, Finance, Legal, or Procurement service delivery.</li>
<li>Education: A BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience.</li>
</ul>
