    Description
    Job Description
    JDA TSG, we equip many of the world's major brands with top-tier specialized talent, business process expertise and innovations which drive their organizations in exciting new directions. What makes us the partner of choice for the most experience-obsessed brands worldwide? We apply extensive due diligence up front to ensure that our teams and talent will be a cultural fit (culture add) and can make a difference from the very start. We have established a reputation for bringing exceptional focus, flexibility, and confidence with every client we serve.
    Director, Solutions Engineering
    Location: United States (Remote or Hybrid NYC HQ)
    Salary Range - $120,000 to $160,000 with bonus potential
    Employment Type: Full-Time
    Reports To: SVP- Business Solutions
    The Role
    As Director, Solutions Engineering, you will be JDA's first dedicated Solutions Engineering hire. You will own solution design for new and expanding client programs end-to-end, from discovery through proposal, pricing, and transition into delivery. You will operate as the connective tissue between go-to-market and operations, translating client needs into executable program architectures and commercial structures.
    Initially, this is a hands-on, high-impact role with no direct reports. Over time, you will help define what good looks like for Solutions Engineering at JDA and build a team as the function scales.
    What You'll Do
    Lead solution design for complex pursuits
    • Run structured discovery with enterprise stakeholders to understand goals, constraints, current-state processes, and success metrics.
    • Design end-to-end managed service solutions: operating model, workflows, roles, tooling approach, governance, reporting, and launch plan.
    • Define scope boundaries, assumptions, dependencies, and measurable outcomes.
    • Create high-quality client-facing deliverables (decks, proposals, RFP responses, solution summaries) that drive alignment and accelerate decisions.
    • Partner with Sales to shape deal strategy, close plans, and differentiation narrative.
    Build commercially sound, executable programs
    • Create staffing models, onboarding and training plans, QA approaches, and steady-state operating cadences.
    • Develop pricing models and business cases that balance competitiveness with margin discipline.
    • Support contract development (MSA/SOW) by providing scope clarity, deliverables, acceptance criteria, and change-control structure.
    • Pressure-test solutions with Delivery/Operations, Recruiting, IT/Security, and Finance to ensure feasibility.
    Own transition readiness and delivery handoff
    • Lead internal solution reviews to align on delivery approach, risks, and resourcing.
    • Produce transition artifacts: launch plan, RACI, timeline, training plan, and reporting/KPIs.
    • Stay engaged post-close as needed to ensure launch quality and preserve solution intent.
    Advance JDA's AI+HI approach
    • Design solutions that incorporate automation and AI appropriately with strong human-in-the-loop controls.
    • Identify repeatable patterns and components that improve speed-to-solution and consistency across pursuits.
    Build the Solutions Engineering function (phase 1)
    • Establish standards for discovery, scoping, estimating, pricing hygiene, proposal quality, and handoffs.
    • Create reusable templates and playbooks (discovery guides, solution briefs, pricing models, transition checklists).
    • Define the future org structure, roles, and hiring plan as pipeline scales and priorities become clear.
    What Success Looks Like
    • Higher win rate and stronger conversion on qualified pipeline.
    • Margin-aligned pricing and fewer scope surprises post-close.
    • High-quality handoffs and smooth launches (delivery satisfaction).
    • Reusable SE assets and a clear plan to scale the function.
    Qualifications
    • 8-12+ years in solutions engineering, solution consulting, launch operations, pre-sales, customer operations, managed services, or tech-enabled services.
    • Proven ability to lead enterprise discovery and translate ambiguity into executable operating models.
    • Strong commercial skills: scoping, estimating, pricing, and shaping SOW language with clear assumptions and change control.
    • Executive presence and crisp communication: able to simplify complexity and drive decisions.
    • Comfort working autonomously in a first-hire environment: building structure while delivering outcomes.
    • Analytical strength (staffing models, unit economics, margin sensitivity).
    Nice-to-Haves
    • Experience in customer support operations, technical support, trust & safety, compliance/risk, or back-office operations.
    • Familiarity with AI-enabled workflows and human-in-the-loop design.
    • Consulting background or experience productizing service offerings/modules.
