About the role
We are looking for an experienced Head of Solution Consulting to lead and scale our global pre-sales/solution consulting function at a very fast-growing scale-up.
You will manage our Solution Consulting team across the US and UK, and act as the critical bridge between Sales and our Product, Services and Technical teams. This role requires a balance of people leadership, technical depth, sales acumen and strategic thinking, and will sit as part of our Sales and Commercial leadership team.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and develop a team of Solution Consultants globally, across the US and UK.
- Partner with Sales leaders across New Business, Expansion and Partnerships to drive revenue through effective technical pre-sales support.
- Act as the bridge between Sales and Product/Technical teams, running a two-way feedback loop – enabling Sales teams with the knowledge and tools they need, and channelling customer and market insight back to Product to shape the roadmap.
- Own and evolve the Solution Consulting playbook, keeping the function ahead of the curve on tools, processes and techniques.
- Get personally involved in strategic deals and key customer engagements, providing senior technical and commercial input where it matters most.
- Sit on the Sales and Commercial leadership team, contributing to broader go-to-market strategy and decision-making.
- Work closely with Services and Technical teams to ensure a smooth handover from pre-sales to delivery, and that customer requirements are well understood and met.
- Develop and maintain extensive knowledge of market trends, competitor products and industry developments, and ensure this is reflected in the team's approach.
- Provide training and support to other functions within the commercial team.
- Establish and maintain strong relationships with customers and partners, serving as a senior technical advisor.

And if you have a disability, please let us know if there's any way we can make the interview process better for you - we're happy to accommodate!
If you're a recruiting agency - we have an existing list of agencies we work with and we are not currently planning on expanding the list. Neither the Talent team nor hiring managers or the Support team will respond to cold outreach.
This is a full-time position, with standard working hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Interview Process
While the exact process may vary slightly depending on the role, our typical interview stages are:
- Introductory Call – A short Teams conversation with a Talent Partner to discuss your background and the opportunity.
- Hiring Manager Interview – A 30–45 minute Teams meeting to explore your experience and fit for the team.
- Technical Task or Presentation – A role-relevant exercise to demonstrate your skills and approach.
- Final On-site Interview – An in-person meeting with our senior leadership team and co-founders at our office.
We strive to make the process clear, efficient, and respectful of your time.
We welcome the responsible use of AI for research and interview preparation, but ask that it isn't used to generate answers during live interviews. We also believe in being transparent - we use Metaview's AI note-taker during interviews so our interviewers can stay fully present. If you'd prefer us not to use it, just let your interviewer know. While you may need to answer eligibility questions as part of your application, we do not use AI to review or make decisions on applications - every application is reviewed fairly by a member of our Talent team.
