Senior Solutions Engineer

Senior Solutions Engineer

Yext is the global leader in helping enterprise brands uncover and fix gaps in their digital visibility. We analyze how businesses appear across search engines, websites, apps, and more — then deliver clear, actionable solutions that ensure customers always find accurate, consistent, and compelling information. With a primary focus on improving brands GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), Yext provides the technology to improve visibility, drive engagement and deliver measurable business results.

The Role

As a Senior Solutions Engineer you are responsible for supporting the growth and retention of our client base across Northern Europe. This role is perfect for someone who lives at the intersection of technology, creative storytelling, and commercial value — someone who brings clarity to complexity and influence to every interaction.

You'll work hand-in-hand with Yext Revenue, Product, Marketing, Professional Services and Customer Success to land and expand strategic accounts, while positioning the Yext platform as essential to how brands stay discoverable, accurate, and competitive in an AI-first world.

What You'll Do

You'll play a pivotal role within a cross-functional account team, working alongside an Account Executive, Client Success Manager — with support from a Solutions Architect and/or Platform Consultant where needed. Every Yext client is backed by a dedicated team focused on driving growth, delivering value, and ensuring long-term renewal.

You will collaborate and help to define, execute and evaluate client account/opportunity strategy, execution, and growth.

• Collaboratively work as a core member of the EMEA SE team.
• Understand the "why" behind a client's goals — then shape and showcase the "how" using Yext's full platform.
• Build compelling demos, POCs, and solution narratives that bridge Martech, GEO/SEO, Site Search, Reputation Management, Analytics, and Content Management. These presentations can include:
• Bespoke site search applications
• Bespoke GEO web pages
• Bespoke AI Search analytics reports
• Strategic Business Review presentations
• Industry Benchmark insights, best practice guidance and thought leadership
• Be the voice of clarity: distil complex technical value into business outcomes for stakeholders from marketing managers to the C-suite.
• Present at events, run workshops, author content, and contribute to Field Marketing initiatives across the region.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Enablement, Professional Services and Customer Success to evolve our GTM story.
• Be a leading voice back to Yext Product to aid further Product Road Map direction, with a specific focus on EMEA client needs & requests.
• Lead or support technical RFP/RFI responses where required.
• Travel within the region (primarily UKI, Nordics, Benelux, South Africa) with occasional trips to the US and wider Europe.
