Job description for Presales Teamleader at SotaTek
About SotaTek:
SotaTek is a Vietnam-based technology company with 1,300+ engineers, delivering software outsourcing, AI products (SotaAgents), EdTech (NoteX, LMS), blockchain/Web3, and enterprise data platform solutions across international markets. As an AWS Advanced Tier Partner, we work with large enterprise and government-linked clients across aviation, finance, telecom, and public-sector domains, and are scaling toward a product-led model built around owned IP.
Role Overview:
We are looking for a Lead Presales to own the technical and commercial front line of our largest enterprise opportunities — from RFP/RFQ response through solution design, proposal writing, contract negotiation support, and deal closure. This is a senior, client-facing role requiring someone who can translate complex technical capabilities (cloud, data platforms, AI, custom software) into compelling, commercially sound proposals for sophisticated enterprise buyers, often in English and across multi-stakeholder negotiations.
Location: Hanoi, Vietnam (Hybrid)
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead end-to-end presales for enterprise and government-linked deals: requirements gathering, solution scoping, effort/cost estimation, and proposal development.
- Draft and structure RFP/RFI/RFQ responses, technical proposals, and partnership decks for large-scale engagements (cloud migration, data platforms, AI/agent systems, custom development).
- Partner with legal, delivery, and finance teams to review contract terms — SLAs, pricing structures, penalty/termination clauses, IP ownership — and flag commercial risk before signature.
- Act as the primary technical-commercial liaison in client negotiations, including with international partners and multi-party consortiums/joint ventures.
- Coordinate cross-functional input from engineering, architecture, and delivery teams to ensure proposed solutions are technically sound and deliverable.
- Mentor and guide junior presales/BD staff; help build repeatable presales playbooks, templates, and win-strategy processes.
Requirements:
- Excellent English proficiency (written and spoken) is mandatory — this role regularly involves drafting formal proposals, negotiating contracts, and presenting to international and multinational clients.
- 5+ years of experience in presales, solution consulting, business development, or a related client-facing technical role, ideally within IT services, software outsourcing, or enterprise SaaS.
- Proven track record leading proposals/RFP responses for large, complex accounts (enterprise, government-linked, or regulated industries a strong plus).
- Working knowledge of software delivery, cloud platforms, data platforms, and/or AI solutions — enough to credibly scope and discuss technical solutions with engineering teams and clients.
- Strong commercial acumen: comfortable reading and reasoning about contract terms, pricing models, and SLA structures.
- Excellent written communication skills — able to produce polished, client-ready documents under tight deadlines.
- Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills, with experience engaging senior client stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working on multi-party consortiums/joint-venture bids.
- Prior exposure to aviation, financial services, telecom, or large government-linked enterprise clients is a plus
- Background in technical writing, business analysis, or solution architecture.
