Summary:

Anaconda recently acquired three new products that expand our portfolio significantly, and we're consolidating all pre-sales engineering under unified leadership for the first time. We're restructuring our sales engineering team into pods aligned with our sales organization, and we need a leader who can build the operating model from the ground up. You'll manage our growing team of sales engineers, set new standards for excellence, and become the primary bridge between our sales organization and technical solutions team during this pivotal growth phase.

What You'll Do:

Lead and develop a team of sales engineers across the US and EMEA, hiring multiple new team members and establishing what great looks like

Build new sales engineering programs and product lines from scratch that enable our sales organization to demonstrate the value of our expanded product portfolio

Foster deep integration with sales pods through aligned team structure, regular collaboration, and shared accountability for deal velocity and value

Channel technical feedback from customer conversations to product engineering teams, ensuring field insights shape product direction

Establish standards for technical excellence across the team while up-leveling business acumen and customer engagement skills

Create sales enablement content including technical demonstrations, videos, and blog posts that help both sales teams and customers understand our platform

Manage cross-functional relationships with sales leadership, marketing, and product engineering to ensure alignment on priorities and execution

Set team direction and operating rhythms that balance technical rigor with the speed required to support high-velocity enterprise sales

Your Impact will be measured through:

Deal velocity and close rates achieved by your team in partnership with aligned sales pods

Average deal values and expansion of technical scope in customer engagements

Quality of relationships between sales engineers and sales leaders, measured through regular feedback and joint planning

Speed and effectiveness of new product line integration into sales engineering motion

Team retention and development of high performers into senior technical and leadership roles

What You Need:

Deep understanding of the sales engineer or solutions engineer role from having done it yourself, ideally selling technical products to data science, AI, or engineering buyers

Proven experience managing and developing technical teams with demonstrated success building high-performance cultures

Track record building new programs, product lines, or go-to-market motions from scratch rather than maintaining existing operations

Experience managing complex cross-functional relationships, particularly between technical and commercial organizations

History of hiring, mentoring, and developing senior engineers with focus on both technical excellence and business skills

Demonstrated ability to operate in fast-paced, high-growth environments where priorities shift and ambiguity is common

What Will Make You Stand Out:

You've led sales engineering or solutions engineering teams at companies selling technical products to data science, AI, or engineering buyers

You have hands-on experience with data science tooling, AI platforms, or developer infrastructure products similar to our portfolio

You've worked in environments that span cloud, on-premises, and Kubernetes deployment models

You bring commercial experience from customer success or sales roles that helps you bridge technical and business perspectives

You've thrived in startup or high-growth environments where building quickly and iterating based on feedback is the norm

You've worked at open-source companies or developer-focused platforms where technical credibility with customers is essential

You believe in a learn-by-doing approach to development, supporting your team as they take ownership of challenging customer situations

You embody our values: 'Curious by Default', 'Build Together', 'Own It', and 'Lead with Guts and Heart', and our behaviors: Clarity, Care and Candor

You care deeply about fostering an environment where people of all backgrounds and experiences can flourish

Why You'll Like Working Here:

You'll thrive in a high-performance environment where results are recognized and rewarded
Your work directly contributes to shaping the future of data science, machine learning, and AI in the enterprise.
You'll work alongside a collaborative team that values diverse, thoughtful discussion, clarity and candor.
You'll be supported by a culture that puts employees first - with flexible hours, a fully remote setup, and a genuine commitment to your wellbeing and growth.
