ConvergeHEALTH Life Sciences - Product Forward Deployed Engineer - Innovation_Delivery_Transformation

The Team

The Innovation & Delivery Transformation (I&DT) team is building the future of Deloitte's business through new AI-native platforms and products. The team is responsible for identifying, nurturing, scaling, and winning in new markets through new capabilities. Rather than relying on what the firm has historically done, I&DT looks ahead and invests in areas where growth is expected three, five, and ten years into the future.

This role is aligned to the Converge for Life Sciences portfolio, Deloitte's AI-enabled platform portfolio for the modern life sciences enterprise. Converge by Deloitte combines proprietary data assets, advanced analytics, and AI-driven decision intelligence to help pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical product organizations accelerate the pace of discovery, development, and commercialization, while improving compliance and operational visibility across the enterprise.

This role is 100% dedicated to Fast Forward. Fast Forward is a flagship offering within this portfolio that supports commercial field operations for pharmaceutical organizations.

As a Product Forward Deployed Engineer (pFDE), this role is the technical engine of the Fast Forward pre-sales cycle. Working across Product Management, Engineering, Account, and Pursuit teams, and in close partnership with the Fast Forward Sales Executive, the pFDE builds and leads product demonstrations, proves technical fit and feasibility, and translates client workflows into credible solution approaches that move opportunities from qualification through proof of value.

We're seeking a seasoned Senior Consultant Product Forward Deployed Engineer (pFDE) to own the technical side of the Fast Forward pre-sales cycle. This is an experienced individual-contributor role for someone who operates independently: building and running product demonstrations end to end, shaping solutions directly with clients and internal teams, and raising the technical quality of every Fast Forward pursuit. Success is measured by technical wins, demonstration quality, and the strength of the pursuits it enables.

Day to day, the pFDE will have the following key responsibilities:

• Lead technical discovery sessions with prospective clients, alongside account, pursuit, and product teams, to understand commercial workflows, data, integration needs, and success criteria for Salesforce Life Sciences Cloud.
• Independently qualify product fit and feasibility, distinguishing standard capability from client-specific customization, and help determine whether an opportunity stays product-led or is routed elsewhere.
• Partner closely with the Fast Forward Sales Executive to shape opportunities, sequence pursuit milestones, and resolve technical objections throughout the sales cycle.

• Build, own, and lead Fast Forward product demonstrations end to end, configuring demo environments, tailoring scenarios to the client's needs, and presenting them to both technical and business audiences.
• Independently stand up and configure demo orgs and proof-of-concept environments.
• Run fit-gap assessments and proof-of-value exercises that give prospects a credible, hands-on view of the platform before contracting.

• Develop credible solution approaches and technical narratives in partnership with account, pursuit, product, and engineering teams.
• Serve as the technical bridge between the field and the product organization, feeding client requirements, objections, and market signals back to Product Management and Engineering to inform the product roadmap.
• Support account teams with technical inputs to proposals, scoping boundaries, and transition-to-delivery clarity so qualified opportunities hand off cleanly.

• Build reusable technical assets, reference configurations, and demo scripts from pursuit work so the team scales without rebuilding from scratch each time.
• Develop go-to-market and strategic documentation that supports pursuit strategy and product positioning.
• Share demonstration and technical best practices with newer pFDEs and pursuit-team members, raising the technical bar across Fast Forward pre-sales.

The successful candidate would possess these skills:

• Clear, audience-aware communication: explains technical concepts credibly to both technical and business stakeholders and tells a compelling product story in a live demo.
• Strong organization and prioritization: manages multiple concurrent pursuits and demo builds at once, and sequences competing priorities well.
• Collaborative, team-first mindset: works fluidly across Sales, Product Management, Engineering, Account, and Pursuit teams, and is comfortable being the connective tissue between the field and the product organization.
• Self-directed ownership: drives demos and technical qualification end to end and moves work forward without…
