PAID PRE-SALES ENGAGEMENT
AppViewX Subject Matter Expert

We are an IT professional services firm engaged in an active pre-sales pursuit requiring specialized AppViewX expertise. We are seeking an experienced AppViewX practitioner to serve as a paid subject matter expert (SME) to support scoping, solution design, and client-facing advisory activities throughout the engagement.
This is a structured, time-boxed consulting engagement — not a full-time role. The right candidate will hit the ground running with deep hands-on AppViewX knowledge and the ability to operate comfortably in a pre-sales, client-facing environment. Should the end customer decide to implement AppViewX it could turn into a long term contract engagement.

Pre-Sales & Solution Scoping
AppViewX Platform — Non-Negotiable
This engagement is strictly scoped to a hard maximum of 20 hours distributed across 5 to 6 weeks. It is designed for an experienced practitioner who can operate with minimal ramp-up and deliver expert-level input efficiently. Candidates who require significant onboarding time or who are unfamiliar with the AppViewX platform will not be a fit for this engagement.
Compensation will be structured as an hourly consulting rate agreed upon prior to engagement start. A brief NDA and consulting agreement will be required before any client-sensitive materials are shared.
