Solutions Architect Manager

About the Role

We’re looking for a Solutions Architect Manager who is as strong with people as they are with platforms. In this pivotal role, you’ll lead a team of 14 Solutions Architects across North America, ensuring they have the tools, guidance, and support to deliver outstanding customer experiences.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a fast-paced SaaS environment. You’ll not only manage day-to-day team operations but also act as a subject matter expert across our three flagship systems: Learning Management Systems (LMS), Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), and Chemical Management Systems (CMS/SDS).

You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success teams to solve problems, advocate for our customers, and make sure the Solutions Architect team has a strong voice in company-wide initiatives.

If you thrive in environments where no two days look the same, can balance “yes” and “no” with political savvy, and love helping people grow while keeping operations running smoothly, this is the role for you.
