Hi! 👋 I'm Chris, Director of Activation & Implementation at WeTravel. I have been focused on efficient activation & accurate implementation of software products for over the last decade supporting thousands of organizers. I am looking for an eager player coach to lead the growing solutions engineering team as we scale our services & support product development. We plan to be the one stop shop for multi day organizers and we know the right leader can help us accomplish our goal.
You will own complex technical customer engagements end to end — designing and building integrations between WeTravel and third-party systems — while also leading and developing a small team of Sales Engineers and Technical Account Managers.
This role spans both pre- and post-sale: from technical evaluation and solution design with high-value prospects, through to driving adoption and long-term implementation with existing customers. Long-term, this team may evolve into a dedicated Professional Services function.
You will sit within the Customer Experience organisation, reporting to the Implementation & Activation Director. On a day-to-day basis, you’ll work closely with Sales, Product, Account Management, Onboarding, and Engineering — acting as the clearest conduit between customer needs and the product roadmap. We move quickly, value clarity, and expect you to build the processes that help the team scale.
Have 3+ years of experience in solutions engineering, technical account management, implementation, or a related customer-facing technical role
Are comfortable reading API documentation, troubleshooting integrations, and designing data flows between systems
Have at least 1 year of experience managing, mentoring, or leading a technical or customer-facing team
Enjoy leading technical discussions with both technical and non-technical stakeholders across pre- and post-sale contexts
Are deeply familiar with integration tools like Zapier, and can design, troubleshoot, and optimise automated workflows
Have strong project and programme management skills — you can scope, plan, and drive complex cross-functional initiatives
Thrive in evolving environments and enjoy building structure where little exists
Prefer a highly defined, stable scope with established processes already in place
Are looking for a purely technical individual contributor role without team leadership responsibilities
Are not comfortable owning customer relationships and leading technical conversations directly
Leading technical discovery, solution design, and demo presentations for high-value prospects and existing customers
Providing hands-on support across integrations including Google Analytics, Zapier, QuickBooks, public APIs, webhooks, and complex inventory setups
Acting as the escalation point for senior technical issues, and maintaining a clear prioritisation framework for the team’s work
Managing, coaching, and growing a small team of Sales Engineers and Technical Account Managers through regular 1:1s, performance conversations, and career development planning
Building team processes, playbooks, and onboarding resources that scale as the function grows
Taking part in hiring and training as the team expands
Partnering with Sales, Onboarding, Account Management, and Product to keep customer needs visible and well-represented
Surfacing customer feedback to Product and Engineering, and helping prioritise with clarity
Contributing to the definition of WeTravel’s Professional Services model as the team evolves
Defining and documenting the technical sales and implementation process for the team
Building a library of reusable technical assets: demo environments, integration guides, and solution templates
Tracking and reporting on key metrics: deal support coverage, implementation timelines, and technical CSAT
