About the role

  • Directly manage Solutions Engineers supporting the Corporate and Mid-Market segments
  • Own 1:1s, performance management, and individual development plans for each SE
  • Build a strong coaching culture with consistent, actionable feedback on discovery quality, demo execution, preparation, and deal strategy
  • Partner with the Director of SE and Sales leadership on headcount planning, role design, and hiring
  • Design and facilitate SE deal reviews for Corp and MM: structured agendas, clear ownership, and documented follow-ups
  • Lead demo reviews and call analysis sessions focused on elevating discovery, storytelling, and customer alignment
  • Run weekly team ceremonies — standups, office hours, and enablement sessions — that keep SEs informed, aligned, and prepared
  • Ensure learnings from team ceremonies are captured and incorporated into playbooks and ongoing training
  • Develop and maintain standardized discovery frameworks and templates tailored to downmarket segments
  • Codify demo patterns, talk tracks, and best-practice flows for core use cases and product areas
  • Implement pre-call preparation checklists and define clear expectations for SEs and their AE partners
  • Define a repeatable onboarding and ramp plan for incoming SEs
  • Introduce lightweight QA scorecards for discovery, demos, and technical validation — and coach consistently against them
  • Implement and maintain consistent SE deal scoring across Corporate and Mid-Market opportunities
  • Use SE scores to identify technical risk or misalignment early and drive corrective action with AEs
  • Partner with frontline Sales managers so SE input becomes a reliable, visible component of the forecast
  • Surface recurring product or solution gaps through SE scoring and route findings to Product and Professional Services
  • Serve as the primary SE counterpart to Corporate and Mid-Market AEs and Sales managers
  • Clarify and enforce SE rules of engagement for downmarket segments
  • Protect SE capacity by redirecting mis-routed or low-value requests to appropriate resources
  • Collaborate with Enablement, RevOps, and Product on initiatives that improve joint SE and Sales execution

  • Strong communication and facilitation skills across 1:1s, team settings, and cross-functional partnerships
  • Ability to prioritize effectively and operate with confidence in a high-growth environment.
  • Background in or around the construction or field service industry (HVAC, MEP, fire, mechanical, electrical, or specialty contracting)
