Job Description

About the Role

This is the single technical thread from first discovery call through to a customer live in production — bridging pre-sales solutioning and post-signature delivery within a cold chain and logistics intelligence platform. You sit inside the Commercial Organization, working closely with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering, and you own what you scope.

What You'll Do

  • Run technical and process discovery with supply chain, quality, logistics, and IT stakeholders to surface current-state workflows, data sources, and constraints.

  • Deliver tailored product demonstrations mapped to the customer's real lanes, products, and release processes — not a generic script — and handle technical objections on the spot.

  • Own the initial solution design and solution map, defining which modules apply, what data is required, which integrations are in play, and what is phased versus out of scope.

  • Translate solution designs into scoped, sequenced statements of work and implementation plans, sizing effort honestly and surfacing long-lead dependencies before they become commitments.

  • Partner with Sales on proposals and order forms, ensuring everything committed commercially is technically deliverable.

  • Carry your own design into delivery — leading solution workshops and guiding configuration of lane qualification, command-and-control, and automated product release modules through to go-live.

  • Coordinate with Product, Data, and Engineering to sequence deliverables, manage technical handoffs, and feed real customer patterns back into the roadmap.

  • Build reusable assets — reference solution designs, discovery question banks, scoping templates, and integration patterns — to accelerate future engagements.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years as a Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Technical Account Manager delivering enterprise software implementations end-to-end.

  • Proven ability to run technical discovery with cross-functional stakeholders and translate requirements into solution designs that survive implementation.

  • Experience scoping and sequencing implementation plans, sizing effort, and identifying dependencies and long-lead items.

  • Proficiency delivering customer-tailored demos and handling technical objections in live sales situations.

  • Domain background in supply chain, cold chain, logistics, or quality management systems and workflows.

  • Hands-on experience configuring or implementing enterprise software modules (e.g., product release management, qualification systems, or command/control platforms).

  • Comfort with design and documentation tools (Figma, FigJam, or equivalent) and project tracking systems (Jira, Linear, or equivalent).

  • Familiarity with data integration patterns, API-driven architectures, or system interoperability challenges is a plus.

  • Experience in regulated industries — pharma, food, or healthcare — with compliance and traceability requirements is a plus.
