What's Cool About This Job This is an opportunity to build and lead the delivery team behind WEKA's most critical integrations. As Senior Manager, Professional Services, you will own the people, the quality, and the capacity of a regional delivery pod — the Solutions Architects and Technical Engagement Managers who deliver the Forward Deployed Experience: WEKA's model for embedding a named team inside a customer's build, from the first design review through to acceptance. This is a techno-managerial role. You will be technical enough to read an architecture, challenge a schedule, and recognize when a design review has gone wrong — and managerial enough to understand that your job is to grow the people who do that work rather than to do it yourself. You will operate at the intersection of delivery, sales, and product, and your leadership will determine whether WEKA's delivery capability scales with demand or becomes the constraint on it. What You Will Do Lead, mentor, and develop a regional pod of Solutions Architects and Technical Engagement Managers, giving every engineer a manager in their own region and time zone. Set clear priorities and performance expectations, and own career development, progression planning, and technical growth paths for each member of the team. Own hiring for the pod: define the bar, run the loop, and calibrate against the wider Professional Services organization. Build bench strength deliberately, so that no engagement depends on a single individual and no individual is the reason an engagement slips. Own delivery quality across every engagement the pod runs — on time, in scope, and accepted on the first attempt wherever possible. Review delivery approaches, architectures, and schedules before they are committed, and intervene early when an engagement begins to drift.
