Senior Director of Solutions Engineering
(Founding Solutions Engineering Leader)
About the Role
As the Senior Director of Solutions Engineering at Greenlite AI, you’ll build and lead our Solutions Engineering function from the ground up—while remaining deeply hands-on. You’ll partner with global banks, regional institutions, and fintechs to fight financial crime at scale through the power of agentic AI.
This is a founding go-to-market leadership role: you’ll define how Greenlite turns complex compliance and risk challenges into tangible value for customers. You’ll architect solutions, run discovery, lead executive demos, and close technical deals—all while creating the frameworks, playbooks, and culture that will scale a world-class Solutions Engineering organization.
You’ll report directly to our COO and collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering to shape Greenlite’s go-to-market motion and influence the product roadmap.

Within 60–90 Days
Own 6–8 active enterprise deals as the primary technical lead, driving outcomes from discovery through close.

Begin hiring and mentoring your first 1–2 Solutions Engineers; establish the recruiting bar, interview process, and onboarding plan.
Ongoing

Create scalable processes, tools, and assets to accelerate deal velocity (CRM discipline, demo environments, asset libraries).
Own presales KPIs—POC win rates, cycle time, customer satisfaction, and ARR impact; analyze wins/losses to refine messaging.
Partner closely with Product and Engineering to translate customer insights into roadmap priorities.
Represent Greenlite at industry events and in key executive meetings, establishing thought leadership around AI and financial crime prevention.
