About the role
- Pull in Solution Architects when the work needs architecture depth; pull in FDEs / engineers when the work needs to be built
- Be the person who reads the architecture doc, asks the sharp question, and writes the one-page summary the customer's CTO actually reads - and the one-page brief the engineering team uses to scope the work
- Define what "winning" looks like for each customer in writing within the first 60 days of an engagement - and instrument it
Responsibilities
- The P&L for those accounts - drive against deliverables AND against gross margin; surface risk on both before it's a number on the dashboard
- Run the weekly operating rhythm - internal stand-ups, customer syncs, exec readouts, escalation reviews - and build the artifacts that keep them grounded in reality, not theater
- Linear and Notion are your primary instruments; you will design how they're used for your portfolio, not inherit a template someone else built
- Own the bidirectional translation between the customer's business problem and NX1's engineering reality - surface the right requirements into the org, surface engineering trade-offs back to the customer, without distorting either side
Requirements
- Strong track record of delivering against customer needs - not activity-shaped ("I ran the program") but outcome-shaped ("the customer got X and here's specifically how I made it land")
- 5-8 years in a customer-facing solution delivery, consulting, or forward-deployed role: Forward Deployed Engineer, Engagement Manager (consulting or product), Solutions Architect with delivery scope, strategic-level Technical Account Manager, Customer Engineering Lead, Implementation Lead, or equivalent
- Operationally rigorous. Strong track record of delivering against customer needs - not activity-shaped ("I ran the program") but outcome-shaped ("the customer got X and here's specifically how I made it land")
- Has personally owned a customer's outcome end-to-end at an enterprise account - not just "contributed to" or "supported"
- Communicates with precision across levels. Same person can hold the engineer's whiteboard conversation, the VP-level steering committee, and the C-suite QBR without changing who they are - only the register
- Bidirectional translator. Has owned the act of translating customer requirements into something the engineering org can actually build, and engineering trade-offs into something the customer's exec team can actually decide on
- Problem ownership mindset. Reflex when something breaks is to own it until it's not, regardless of whose "job" it is
- Consulting EM intrinsics paired with founding mindset. Carries the structural muscle of a top-tier consulting engagement manager (McKinsey / BCG / Bain / Palantir lineage - client management, structured thinking, exec presence, written clarity) and the entrepreneurial streak of a founder - builds the playbook rather than follows one
- Has worked inside a startup or scale-up engineering organization (Series A through D) - knows what it looks like to operate when the org chart is still being drawn
- Fluent enough technically to read an architecture doc, ask the right questions, and not need a translator in an engineering room. Data, cloud, or platform infrastructure background strongly preferred
- Has run modern program tooling - Linear and Notion specifically, or has switched to them from Jira/Asana/Confluence and can articulate why
