Job Description
About the Role
--------------
The Solutions Architecture team at Metronome is a technical group that sits at the intersection of sales, growth, product, and R&D. We’re integral to things like:
- Helping the sales team close new customers, owning the technical side of the sales process.
- Ensuring those customers successfully deploy on Metronome.
- Supporting our Growth team in the technical aspects of maximizing long-term customer value and uncovering and closing upsell opportunities.
- Bridging between our customers and our product team to directly influence what we build.
As a member of the team, you’ll be focused on deploying and managing our most strategic enterprise customers. This entails deployments and customer relationships on the scale of our largest customers - like Confluent, Databricks, OpenAI, and Anthropic. These are long-term, complex, deep, and technical engagements with a lot of moving pieces. Expect these to be challenging growth opportunities with extremely high impact.
While you’ll primarily be focused on managing existing enterprise customers post-sales, our philosophy is that every Solutions Architect should have at least some exposure to the full customer lifecycle and the full range of customers we work with. Thus you’ll also have the opportunity to work on closing new business and managing smaller post-sales customers. The exact blend of responsibilities will depend on your skillset, appetite, and goals.
Metronome is a startup. As such, there’s a lot still to figure out and tremendous room for high-agency people to influence our direction and strategy, build processes from zero to one, and generally make a difference. If this excites you as much as it excites us, let’s talk.
A few other bullet points:
🛠️ Educating our customers as an advisor to their monetization efforts. You'll become a world-class expert on software monetization and billing data management and consult with top product and engineering leaders on how to achieve major business goals.
🏁 Bringing accounts to technical close and beyond. You'll navigate complex multi-party sales and design joint integration architectures with our customers' Engineering teams. You'll help buyers understand how Metronome can accelerate their business while fitting into their technical stack with minimal effort. You’ll lead complex enterprise deployments and partner with the Growth team to maximize the value our customers get from Metronome.
🧭 Partner with our Growth, Engineering, and Product teams. As the primary conduit between GTM and Engineering, you'll gather and prioritize feedback from prospective customers. You'll be a major input into our product roadmap and collaborate with our Growth team to ensure smooth deployments.
