Key skills for this role
Join and support first calls with prospective customers to understand their control panel needs, project timelines, and technical requirements
Review customer-provided documentation (single-line diagrams, BOMs, specifications, RFQs) and translate it into standard inputs that drive our quoting process, with guidance from senior team members on non-standard cases
Partner with our engineering team to scope standard builds, escalating complex or non-standard requirements appropriately
Support the quote-to-close technical workflow — follow-ups, clarifications, and revisions
Help build and refine internal software tooling and processes that make our quoting motion faster and more accurate
Serve as a technical point of contact between customers and our internal design and manufacturing teams
Contribute customer insights back to product and engineering to inform our roadmap
There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):
Win for the customer. We sit on the same side of the table as our customers - their wins are our wins. We’re building the vendor we always wished we had.
Default to transparency. We believe in honesty, transparency, and kindness. It’s about how you get things done and not just what gets done.
Speed is a feature. We move fast and take ownership. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
Win and lose as a team. Individuals drive inputs, teams drive outputs. We celebrate success together but aren’t afraid to fail and iterate. We own outcomes together and don’t deflect blame.
