- Deliver tailored product demonstrations based on customers' workflows and handle technical objections.
- Design solutions that define applicable modules, required data, integrations, phases, and scope.
- Turn solution designs into sequenced implementation plans and scoped statements of work, identifying effort, dependencies, and risks.
- Partner with Sales on proposals and commercial documents to ensure commitments are technically deliverable.
- Lead solution workshops, guide software configuration, and remain accountable for the design through customer go-live.
- Coordinate technical handoffs and delivery sequencing with Product, Data, and Engineering teams.
- Develop reusable solution designs, discovery frameworks, scoping templates, and integration patterns.

- At least 5 years of experience as a Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Technical Account Manager delivering enterprise software implementations.
- Experience owning solution designs from pre-sales through implementation and go-live.
- Experience with tailored demonstrations, technical sales discussions, and managing objections.
- Background in supply chain, cold chain, logistics, or quality management workflows, ideally in a regulated industry such as pharmaceuticals, food, or healthcare.
- Hands-on experience configuring or implementing enterprise software, along with familiarity with data integrations, APIs, and system interoperability.
- Proficiency with Figma, FigJam, or equivalent design tools, and Linear, Jira, or similar project tracking systems.
- Ability to coordinate cross-functional delivery and create reusable implementation resources.
