Solutions Engineering Team Manager

Location 📍: Sydney, NSW (Hybrid - 3 days a week)

About Us 🚀

At Relevance AI, our mission is to empower anyone to delegate work to the AI workforce.

We’re building a new type of automation platform, for anyone to create and use AI agents that can replicate human quality work, decision making and collaboration.

We are scaling fast to meet unprecedented customer demand and we need exceptional talent to help us grow. If you’re ready to be part of a trailblazing company at the cutting edge of AI, this is the place for you.

The Role 🥳

As our Solutions Engineering Team Manager, you’ll take on a pivotal leadership role within our Sydney-based Solutions Engineering team. You’ll guide a growing team of SEs across both pre-sales and post-sales phases - supporting enterprise clients and delivering impactful AI agent implementations.

You will provide mentorship, team oversight, and technical leadership, while ensuring seamless project delivery and operational coordination. This role is ideal for someone ready to step beyond senior individual contributor work into a role that shapes team culture, scales process, and drives strategic delivery.

Your impact💥

• Lead the day-to-day operations of the Sydney Solutions Engineering team, including project oversight, cross-functional alignment, and knowledge sharing.

• Support pre-sales and post-sales activities, guiding customer engagements from discovery to successful AI agent implementation.

• Serve as a technical and strategic mentor, ensuring consistent upskilling and alignment across the team.

• Onboard new team members and develop structured onboarding processes to scale our SE team effectively.

• Act as the go-to pulse-check for team health and delivery cadence - proactively resolving blockers, balancing workloads, and reporting operational status.

• Drive hands-on impact by joining key customer projects, accelerating implementations and technical success.

• Coordinate with leadership to help prioritize projects and improve internal tooling, processes, and delivery frameworks.

• Conducting weekly team check-ins and fostering a culture of support and excellence.

What We’re Looking For 🧠

• 5+ years in solutions engineering, technical consulting, or forward-deployed engineering - especially in automation, AI, or SaaS environments.

• Proven leadership experience, including team mentorship, reporting, and operational oversight.

• Expertise in AI agents, automation platforms, or workflow orchestration. Experience in both pre-sales and post-sales contexts is highly valued.

• Strong technical fluency with Python, APIs, and LLM prompting - you can handle implementations hands-on and troubleshoot efficiently.

• A collaborative, customer-first mindset, with exceptional communication and problem-solving abilities.

• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into strategic value for business stakeholders.

• Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment with rapidly shifting priorities and team dynamics.

Why Join Us? 🌟

• Work at the forefront of AI with a nimble team that is constantly pushing boundaries. We encourage and celebrate ideas that drive our mission forward.

• We're guided by our five values: truth-seeking, being empathetic, putting the customer first, iterate extremely fast, and building memories.

• We’ve set high standards in our high-trust, low-ego environment. We hire exceptional people to do the best work of their lives. In return, we reward our people with competitive salaries, equity stake, unparalleled professional growth, and career-defining opportunities.

• Relevance AI is well-funded by leading investors, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Insights Partners, Peak XV, and King River Capital.
