Why Join Varicent?
As a Strategic Value Advisor, you will play a pivotal role in driving the success of Varicent and its customers. This role offers the opportunity to:

• Influence high-stakes enterprise purchasing decisions and sit at the heart of our biggest sales opportunities
• Work at the intersection of strategy, finance, and sales
• Collaborate with an elite team of Varicent professionals whose mission is to help revenue leaders drive growth

SUCCESS OUTCOMES:
1-3 Months: Foundation & Quick Wins

• Deep Onboarding & Relationship Building: Gain a thorough understanding of Varicent's products, solutions, and existing value frameworks or tools.
• Build strong cross-functional relationships (Sales, Pre-Sales, Product, Customer Success, Marketing, etc.) to understand the current landscape of value at Varicent.
• Initial Customer Engagement: Participate in a few active sales cycles or customer engagements to begin adapting/refining the current approach to ROI modeling and value proposition. Draft at least one "lightweight" business value model or ROI assessment for a live customer opportunity.
• Gap Analysis & Action Plan: Identify any immediate gaps or inefficiencies in Varicent's current business value methodology (templates, playbooks, or data sources). Present an action plan to leadership outlining quick-win improvements-for example, updating an existing ROI model template, benchmark sources, or creating a new "starter" deck for Sales.
• Establish Key Metrics: Align with leadership on how success and impact will be measured (e.g., deal acceleration, increase in ACV, or pipeline conversion rates). Define a preliminary set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track, such as the number of customer deliverables delivered or average time to complete an ROI analysis.

6 Months: Scaling & Influencing Deals

• Standardized Value Frameworks: Roll out a standardized business value assessment toolkit (ROI models, TCO analyses, value messaging decks) for use across multiple sales motions. Train or enable core members of the internal business team (e.g., Sales, Pre-Sales, CS) teams on these tools to ensure consistency in how Varicent's value is articulated.
• High-Impact Customer Engagements: Lead strategic business value engagements with key enterprise prospects. Deliver at least 3-5 comprehensive value assessments that help close or accelerate multi-million-dollar SaaS deals.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal business team to gather feedback from early engagements. Incorporate real-world customer insights (e.g., pilot results, actual ROI metrics) back into the value models, refining assumptions and benchmarks.
• Data & KPI Tracking: Track and report on outcome-based metrics-e.g., the impact of deliverables on deal velocity, average ARR uplift, or expansion opportunities within existing accounts.

9 Months and Beyond: Strategic Impact & Continuous Improvement

• Drive Broader Enterprise Adoption: Scale the value management approach across multiple internal business teams. Influence and support strategic deals at the executive/C-suite level, serving as a trusted advisor to top Varicent clients.
• Mature the Value Program: Implement an ongoing Value Management framework: collaborate with core members of the internal business team (e.g., Customer Success) to measure and validate realized ROI post-deployment. Identify upsell or cross-sell opportunities based on these value measurements, working with Sales to expand within key accounts.
• Refinement & Innovation: Continuously enhance ROI modeling tools (e.g., incorporate AI-driven analytics or industry benchmarks), making them more sophisticated and easy to use. Launch a second "lightweight" ROI tool that sales reps can use early in the funnel without direct Value Advisor involvement.
• Measure & Celebrate Success: Present quarterly business reviews to Varicent leadership quantifying the overall contribution of Value Advisory (e.g., incremental revenue, shortened sales cycles, higher win rates). Evolve strategy based on feedback, new market demands, and product innovations-position the Value Advisory team as a core differentiator in Varicent's go-to-market approach.
