Ready to level up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place. Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

What's the opportunity? 

We’re seeking a transformational Solutions Engineering leader to lead our Mid Market and Enterprise SE teams in North America. You’ll be a pivotal figure in helping Intercom scale its AI-driven support platform to some of the world’s most well-known brands. This role will shape how we engage with large, complex organizations, defining our go-to-market, building a world-class team, and delivering tangible customer outcomes through innovation and credibility.

This role is both strategic and hands-on. You will lead a Solutions Engineering team focused on winning complex deals, creating vertical-specific solution architectures, and building repeatable playbooks. We believe in leaders who are open to be a player and a coach, regardless of seniority. You’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Success, Product, Engineering, and Services to deliver customer transformation through Intercom’s AI-first platform – be it through strategic guidance as a senior leader on the team, or securing deals with your own technical credibility where needed.

What will I be doing? 
  • Define and evolve the strategic vision and go-to-market (GTM) approach for the Solutions Engineering function.
  • Lead, coach, and scale a high-performing SE team across global regions and core verticals.
  • Operate as a player-coach, actively engaging in strategic deals while developing team capabilities.
  • Support complex, six-figure sales cycles with technical guidance, architecture, demos, and product evaluation support, as well as sales expertise.
  • Serve as a trusted technical advisor and executive point of contact for large customers.
  • Partner closely with Sales, Product, Marketing, and R&D to shape verticalized GTM motions and solution strategy.
  • Champion a customer-obsessed culture across the pre-sales journey – from outbound to implementation.
  • Lead discovery, design, and delivery of tailored technical solutions, including PoCs and business value assessments.
  • Build reusable, scalable solution frameworks, and industry-specific technical assets.
  • Advocate for customer needs and insights internally to influence product roadmap and prioritization.
  • Represent Intercom and the SE function externally through executive meetings and strategic events.
  • Foster strong relationships with C-level stakeholders, translating AI product capabilities into tangible business impact.
What skills do I need? 
  • 5+ years of pre-sales experience as a Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer/Architect, or related individual contributor role.
  • Having 3+ years of experience leading technical pre-sales teams, with a proven track record of hiring, mentoring, and managing high-performing teams.
  • Ideally, experience selling AI, data, or highly technical products; or at the very least, deep curiosity and utilization of AI on your day-to-day.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity in environments with an ability to stay focused and thrive under pressure while working with customers to solve their most challenging issues.
  • Have a humble attitude, and a passion to help others, with a willingness to learn whatever it takes to support the team and help our customers thrive.
  • A track record of consistently delivering revenue numbers, producing accurate forecasts, while maintaining a focus on team development and growth
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills

Policies

We have a radically open and accepting culture at Fin. We avoid spending time on divisive subjects to foster a safe and cohesive work environment for everyone. As an organization, our policy is to not advocate on behalf of the company or our employees on any social or political topics out of our internal or external communications.

Our goal is to focus on doing incredible work to achieve our goals and unite the company through our core values.  

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
