Position Description
The Global Head of Solutions Engineering is a strategic, customer-obsessed leader responsible for building, mentoring, and scaling a world-class Solutions Engineering organization. This role owns the technical customer journey end-to-end—from first demo through onboarding and post-sales success—while partnering closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Support.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate at altitude while still rolling up their sleeves. You’ll set the technical vision, define best practices, and build a high-performance SE team that delivers differentiated value, accelerates revenue, and creates long-term customer advocates.
At Lumana, Solutions Engineers don’t just support sales—they own the customer relationship.
