Job DescriptionValue Engineering Lead Location: US (Remote) About Unframe Unframe enables enterprises to deploy production-ready AI systems in days, not months, focused on real business outcomes. We partner with organizations to identify high-impact use cases, prove value quickly through POCs, and scale into enterprise-wide AI programs. Our approach combines modular building blocks, flexible deployment, and a focus on measurable outcomes across: • Observability (insight from customer & operational data), • Extraction & Abstraction (structuring unstructured data), • Identifies the right use cases, • Quantifies and proves business value You will operate at the intersection of sales, product, and strategy, helping shape deals, train teams, and build the systems that turn value into a repeatable growth engine. What You'll Do1. Shape High-Value Use Cases (Core Responsibility) • Partner with AEs early in deals to identify and refine the highest-impact use cases, • Guide conversations from "what do you want to build" → where is the measurable value, • Apply structured frameworks to prioritize use cases based on:, • volume, cost, and frequency, • operational friction, • business impact2. Quantify & Prove Value (Deal Acceleration), • Translate use cases into clear, defensible business cases, • Define:, • baseline metrics, • expected outcomes, • success criteria for POCs, • Support POCs as proof-of-value exercises, not just technical validation, • Build executive-ready narratives that unlock budget and expansion3. Train the GTM Team on Value Selling, • Enable AEs and SEs to:, • ask the right questions, • quantify pain early, • position use cases in business terms, • Develop simple, repeatable frameworks (not heavy training decks), such as:, • value discovery questions, • use case qualification criteria, • "good vs bad" use case patterns, • Coach on live deals to reinforce behavior4. Build the Value Engineering System (Critical), • Create the infrastructure for value-driven selling, including:, • use case libraries (by industry / function), • value calculators and lightweight modeling tools, • POC success templates, • business case frameworks, • Standardize how value is:, • identified, • measured, • communicated5. Drive POC → Expansion Strategy, • Ensure every POC is tied to:, • measurable impact, • a broader expansion narrative, • Help position single use cases as entry points into:, • multi-use-case deployments, • enterprise AI programs6. Build Feedback Loops Across the Business, • Identify which use cases:, • close fastest, • deliver the most value, • expand most effectively, • Feed insights into:, • sales strategy, • vertical targeting, • product directionWhat We're Looking ForBackground, • 5–10+ years in:, • Value Engineering / Value Consulting (e.g., Palantir, Snowflake, Databricks, Celonis), OR, • Strategy / consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc.), OR, • RevOps / GTM strategy in a technical product company, • Experience working with enterprise customers on business cases and transformation initiativesSkillset, • Strong ability to connect technical solutions to business outcomes, • Comfortable working in ambiguity and shaping problems from scratch, • Excellent at structuring and simplifying complex ideas, • Ability to influence both:, • frontline sellers, • executive stakeholdersMindset Fit (Critical), • You are not just a model builder—you shape how deals are won, • You care about speed + pragmatism, not perfect analysis, • You think in systems and repeatability, not one-off work, • You're comfortable being embedded in deals and pushing back on weak use casesWhat Success Looks Like (First 6 Months), • Reps consistently identify higher-value use cases earlier in deals, • POCs are tied to clear, quantified success metrics, • Conversion from POC → paid engagement improves, • A foundational value engineering system is in place:, • playbooks, • templates, • use case library, • focus on the right problems, • prove value quickly If you're a strong, independent builder who thrives on ownership, cares deeply about quality, and wants to have a real impact — we'd love to meet you.
