About RHONDOSRHONDOS is the recognized leader in SAP security and observability — trusted by Fortune 500 and Fortune 2000 enterprises globally to secure and observe their most mission-critical systems. Our PowerConnect solution delivers real-time threat detection, compliance automation, and deep operational visibility across SAP environments, on market-leading platforms including Splunk, Dynatrace, and Elastic. We maintain strategic partnerships with global systems integrators, ISVs, and VARs.
We are a rapidly growing and profitable business with a lean, highly skilled team operating with a distributed team across the globe. We move fast, think strategically, and build things that last.

The OpportunityWe are hiring a Director, Solutions Engineering to lead presales at RHONDOS, reporting to the President & Chief Product Officer. You will lead our sales engineering function worldwide and own how RHONDOS designs, demonstrates, and proves PowerConnect for customers and partners.
Beyond the deal cycle, you will own market research and competitive analysis, set the standards for demos and POCs, and run the feedback loop that brings what the field learns back to Product and Engineering. This role suits a presales leader who still likes being hands-on, has worked closely with product or project management, and wants to build a function at a company where that work has visible impact.

What You'll Do•     Lead, coach, and hire sales engineers in partnership with regional GTM leaders so every region runs to the same presales standards
•     Own presales capacity and deal coverage with regional sales leaders, and track technical win rate, POC conversion, and cycle time to keep improving how the team works
•     Set the standards for technical discovery, demos, and POCs, including success criteria, timelines, and close-out reviews, and hold the team to them
•     Build and maintain demo environments, reference architectures, and solution patterns across Splunk, Cisco, Dynatrace, and other supported platforms, and lead hands-on evaluation of new platforms and technologies we could support
•     Engage directly on strategic and complex opportunities as the senior technical voice, including helping customers build the technical and business case for PowerConnect
•     Own technical responses to RFPs and architecture reviews, and maintain a reusable response library
•     Scope deployments accurately and run clean handoffs to Customer Success and Professional Services so what we sell is what gets delivered
•     Own market research and competitive analysis: track the SAP security and observability landscape, maintain competitive positioning, and equip the field to win against alternatives
•     Run the feedback loop from the field to Product and Engineering: capture customer requirements, product gaps, and win/loss themes, and bring them to roadmap discussions with clear evidence
•     Deliver technical enablement for RHONDOS sellers and for partner technical teams at Cisco/Splunk and Dynatrace
•     Work with Marketing on technical messaging so solution content, launches, and competitive materials are accurate and reflect how customers actually deploy
•     Represent RHONDOS at partner and industry events such as Splunk .conf, Dynatrace Perform, and SAP community events; travel approximately 25%

Your First Year•     First 30 days: Join live deals in every region and sit in on discovery, demos, and POCs. Get hands-on with PowerConnect and meet our key technical contacts at Cisco/Splunk and Dynatrace
•     Days 31–60: Act as the senior technical voice on our top opportunities and document what is working and what isn't. Design a technical enablement program for Cisco/Splunk and Dynatrace partner teams
•     Days 61–90: Turn what you've seen in live deals into a first version of demo and POC standards, and bring a presales plan into next fiscal year's planning: coverage, headcount, metrics, and targets
•     Months 4–12: Make the standards how every region works, launch partner enablement, and run the team against its annual targets, with technical win rate as the headline measure

What You BringRequired
•     8+ years in presales, solutions engineering, or solution architecture for enterprise software, including 3+ years leading a sales engineering team
