About the role

Responsibilities

  • Run deep process discovery with customers — break down complex, ambiguous, cross-system problems and decide what's actually worth solving
  • Translate messy customer needs into concrete requirements, then drive them to delivered outcomes on the Tessera platform

  • Partner with GTM to frame technical boundaries in sales engagements and produce technical collateral, including Statements of Work
  • Iterate with customers and cross-functional partners to drive adoption from pilot to full production
  • Carry field signal back to Product and Engineering, helping shape what we build

  • Lead training and workshop sessions on-site to upskill customers on the platform

Requirements

  • 2+ years in a high-ownership, customer-facing role — Deployed Strategist, Technical Consultant, Solutions/Sales Engineer, Product Manager, or Solution Architect at a high-growth startup or technology firm
  • Technical fluency to reason about software systems, read architecture, and hold your own with engineers and customer technical leads
  • A track record of taking ambiguous, high-stakes problems from zero to delivered
  • Strong communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • The ability to operate effectively under ambiguity and fast-moving deployments
  • An ownership mentality and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get a deployment over the line
