This role typically leads Field Engineering professionals across a broader portfolio and may include responsibility for one or two managers. Depending on the assignment, you may support a major segment, a multi-country portfolio, or an equivalent area of complexity.

THE IMPACT YOU WILL HAVE

- Lead, coach, and develop Field Engineering professionals and emerging people leaders across a broader portfolio.
- Set team strategy and roadmaps that connect customer needs, technical priorities, business outcomes, and broader Field Engineering goals.
- Increasingly influence the most important priorities for the portfolio and help teams see around corners over the next 3–6–12 months.
- Partner with Sales and cross-functional leadership to shape technical-win strategy, resource allocation, customer coverage, and execution plans.
- Build trusted relationships with senior customer stakeholders and use customer, market, and competitive insight to improve account and portfolio strategy.
- Establish repeatable inspection mechanisms across teams, including portfolio reviews, customer-health reviews, technical-risk reviews, and escalation processes.
- Coach leaders and senior practitioners through complex customer, technical, competitive, organizational, and performance situations.
- Build and share playbooks, tools, enablement, and operating mechanisms that increase productivity and consistency beyond one team.
- Influence Product, Engineering, Support, Professional Services, Marketing, and Partners on customer requirements, product gaps, and cross-functional priorities.
- Use AI and automation to create one-to-many impact across enablement, execution, forecasting, customer planning, and team productivity.
- Model and strengthen a culture of psychological safety, inclusion, accountability, continuous learning, and high performance.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

- Experience leading through other leaders or serving as a senior leader on a complex team.
- Strong strategic judgment: you can identify the highest-impact priorities, allocate resources, manage risk, and connect near-term execution to longer-term goals.
- A track record of building repeatable operating mechanisms, playbooks, tools, or programs that scale beyond your immediate team.
- Ability to influence senior internal partners across Sales, Professional Services, Solutions Architecture, Marketing, Partners, Product, Engineering, and Support.
