  • Create repeatable systems that reduce deployment time while improving customer outcomes.

Set the Standard

  • Personally lead high-impact customer engagements, implementations, and technical escalations.
  • Establish the gold standard for customer communication, project management, and technical execution.
  • Turn your own best practices into repeatable playbooks for the team.
  • Be the leader who can jump into any customer situation and help move it forward., * Recruit, hire, and develop world-class Solutions talent.
  • Coach Sales Engineers, Implementation Engineers, and Forward Deployed/Solutions Engineers.
  • Create clear career paths and performance expectations across the function.
  • Scale the organization without sacrificing quality.

Be the Bridge Across the Company

  • Partner closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success.
  • Bring customer feedback directly into product and engineering discussions.
  • Help shape how the company approaches deployments, integrations, and technical partnerships.
  • Act as the connective tissue between customers and internal teams.

What You’ve Done

  • Built or scaled a Solutions, Solutions Engineering, Implementation, Customer Engineering, or Professional Services function at a B2B software company.
  • Personally ran demos, implementations, integrations, migrations, or deployments before becoming a manager.
  • Hired and developed customer-facing technical talent rather than inheriting an existing organization.
  • Built processes and playbooks that allowed a team to scale.
  • Thrived in ambiguous environments where the right answer did not already exist.

Requirements

Continuous Improvement, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Business-to-Business (B2B), Customer Support/Service, Pre-Sales, Customer Relations, Solution Sales, Coaching, Machine Tool, Professional Services, * You prefer operating within established processes rather than creating them.

  • You prefer remote or hybrid work. This role is based in San Francisco alongside the rest of the Solutions team.
