Sample interview questions
How would you build a scalable enablement program for new solution partners across APAC?

I would first segment partners by capability, market, and revenue potential, then define a practical certification path covering discovery, workflow mapping, demos, competitive positioning, integrations, and implementation handoff. I would combine live workshops, reusable playbooks, demo environments, and deal coaching, and track activation through certifications, pipeline creation, win rate, and time to first partner-led deal.

Describe how you would run discovery for a complex enterprise opportunity involving a partner and an account executive.

I would align with the partner and AE before the meeting on desired outcomes, stakeholder roles, and hypotheses. During discovery, I would map the current process, quantify pain and business impact, identify systems and integration constraints, and confirm success measures. I would then translate findings into a phased solution narrative, validation plan, and clear ownership for next steps.

How do you explain AI agents and automation to an executive audience that is concerned about implementation risk?

I focus on a specific business workflow rather than AI features. I explain the current bottleneck, show how an agent can assist with bounded tasks using appropriate data and controls, define human review points, and propose a measurable pilot. This makes the value, governance, and path to scale concrete without overstating what the technology can do.

Give an example of how you would handle a technical objection related to APIs or integrations during a sales cycle.

I would clarify the business requirement behind the objection, assess the existing architecture and constraints, and distinguish required functionality from preferred implementation. I would present feasible options such as native integrations, an integration platform, API-based development, or a phased workflow, including trade-offs in effort, security, maintenance, and time to value. If needed, I would run a focused technical validation with defined success criteria.

What metrics would you use to assess whether a partner-led solutions engineering motion is effective?

I would measure partner certification and activation, partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline and ARR, win rate, deal velocity, technical validation conversion, and partner independence on standard deals. I would also review implementation handoff quality, expansion outcomes, and recurring technical objections to improve enablement content and product feedback loops.

About the Role

ClickUp is hiring a Strategic Solutions Engineer to accelerate partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue across the APAC region. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise pre-sales, partner enablement, and solution architecture. You will serve as the technical force multiplier that enables upmarket partners (Solution Partners, GSIs, and enterprise resellers) to independently acquire, implement, and expand ClickUp within their customer base, driving ARR growth and net retention.

Your primary mandate is to increase the volume and quality of revenue that flows through partners, working alongside Partner Managers and Account Executives. You are a builder-scaler: standing up enablement programs from a proven playbook, iterating on them, and scaling them to drive repeatable partner-led revenue.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner Enablement & Technical Development: Design and deliver structured enablement programs (workflow mapping, narrative decks, AI Agents, AI workflows, business process mapping, competitive positioning), coach partners on discovery, demos, solution design, and pricing, and drive partner certification and self-sufficiency across APAC.

  • Co-Selling & Revenue: Serve as technical lead on partner-sourced deals from discovery through POC to post-sales handoff, coach partners to run standard deals independently, and tie all activities to measurable revenue outcomes (partner-sourced and partner-influenced iARR, win rate, deal velocity).

  • Direct Customer Engagement: Support Account Executives on strategic direct opportunities, leading discovery, solution design, demos, and technical evaluations alongside the partner motion.

  • Partner Acquisition & Development: Lead technical demonstrations and deep-dives for prospective partners, support recruitment as the technical closer, and elevate existing partners by showcasing new platform capabilities that expand their practice opportunity.

  • AI & Certified Agents: Enable partners to identify, scope, and sell Certified Agent opportunities, deliver AI transformation workshops, and serve as the regional bridge between the internal AI/Agent team and the partner ecosystem.

  • Events & Marketing: Lead or support partner-driven events (workshops, in-market tours, executive dinners), develop enablement content, and contribute to partner case studies and proof points.

  • Reseller-Model Support: Support partner-owned billing, procurement, and renewal workflows, enable partners on expansion motions, and coordinate with Professional Services on co-delivery oversight and escalation paths.

  • Internal Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with Professional Services, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and global Solutions Engineering teams to resolve technical questions, assist with RFPs, and feed partner insights back into product and process improvements.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in enterprise pre-sales, solutions engineering, sales engineering, solutions consulting, or a comparable customer-facing technical role.

  • 2+ years supporting or enabling channel partners, VARs, system integrators, or working in a partner-led go-to-market motion.

  • Demonstrated ability to build programs from scratch (not just execute existing ones).

  • Strong presentation, storytelling, and workshop facilitation skills, with the ability to connect product capabilities and technical details to business outcomes for different audiences.

  • Experience designing or explaining solutions involving APIs, web services, automation, integrations, workflow configuration, or lightweight technical validation.

  • Strong background in business process mapping, including the ability to analyse, document, and improve complex business processes across diverse environments.

  • Ability to create credibility with partners, AEs, and customers, handle objections thoughtfully, and act as a trusted advisor.

  • Hands-on experience with AI & LLMs, integration platforms (Unito, Workato, Zapier, Integromat), web services, and APIs.

  • Strong commercial judgment, structured problem-solving, and comfort managing multiple concurrent priorities with urgency and limited supervision.

  • Up to 50% of travel is required for this role.

Location

  • This role is open to candidates across Australia, with Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane preferred.
