We are looking for an experienced Manager, Solutions Engineering - Commercial to lead and grow a high-performing team of Solutions Engineers (SEs) in our Commercial Vertical.

This is a Pre-sales team leadership role, not a software engineering or product development role. The ideal candidate has a proven background in presales, customer-facing technical consulting, or customer-facing solutions architecture, and excels at combining business storytelling and executive presence with their technical expertise.

As a leader, you’ll coach and mentor Solutions Engineers to have value-driven conversations with customers and partners, discover and design compelling solution demonstrations, and develop problem-solving solution architectures to help customers understand how our solutions will integrate into their environment.

You will also collaborate closely with Sales, Product, and Partner teams to accelerate customer adoption, drive revenue growth, and ensure overall customer success. In partnership with the AVP of Sales for the Commercial vertical, you will define and execute a go-to-market strategy focused on acquiring new logos and expanding Talkdesk’s presence within the Commercial segment.
