About the role

As a Sr Partner Solution Engineer at Parloa, your mission is to accelerate partner success and drive Parloa’s revenue growth. You will engage with our ecosystem of partners to increase pipeline, enable them to confidently discover, demo, and design AI Agent solutions, and drive integration with key technology partners.

By empowering partners to succeed, you directly impact pipeline creation, deal quality, and long‑term customer outcomes.

• Build partner capabilities over time to independently drive high‑quality opportunities
• Partner closely with Sales and Partnerships to support partner‑led and co‑sell motions
• Shape solution design to align technical feasibility with customer and commercial goals
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly across technical and business audiences
• Drive technical win conditions throughout the deal lifecycle
• Build and maintain strong relationships with strategic and emerging partners
• Identify and develop expansion opportunities across use cases, customers, and regions
• Act as a bridge between partners and internal teams (Sales, Product, Customer)
• Support development of scalable enablement assets and best practices
• Capture and translate partner and customer feedback into actionable product insights
• Identify trends, gaps, and opportunities to inform roadmap and go‑to‑market strategy
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to refine messaging, positioning, and solution approach
• Contribute to scaling Parloa’s partner ecosystem as a core growth channel

Who you are

• You bring 8+ years of experience in Solutions Engineering, Solutions Consulting, or a similar pre‑sales role, ideally in SaaS, AI, CCaaS, or enterprise software
• You have a strong technical foundation and are comfortable leading discovery, solution design, and technical validation (POCs, demos, architecture)
• You can balance hands‑on technical depth with high‑level solution storytelling and business value articulation
• You are comfortable working in enterprise sales environments, aligning technical solutions to commercial outcomes
• You are a strong communicator who can engage both technical audiences and senior business stakeholders
• You take a proactive, collaborative approach and enjoy enabling partners, customers, and internal teams

Why Parloa?

We’re at the beginning of a new era in customer experience, one where AI doesn’t just respond, but understands, reasons, and takes action. We’re building agentic AI that enterprises trust with their most important customer moments: complex questions, high volumes, real stakes. When millions of people reach out to a brand, those interactions aren’t just support tickets; they’re defining experiences. We’re here to raise the standard: making every conversation seamless, intelligent, and genuinely helpful. If you care about shaping how businesses and customers connect at scale—and want your work to matter in real, everyday moments—this is where you do it.

At Parloa, ownership isn’t a buzzword; it means being accountable for outcomes, not just tasks. We operate in a category that’s evolving fast, where the bar is high, and the problems are complex. We hire people who think in solutions, communicate with clarity, and follow through. People who are comfortable making decisions, taking responsibility, and raising the standard for themselves and those around them.

We’ve grown beyond the earliest startup phase, but we’ve kept the intensity: fast execution, direct feedback, and a strong expectation to contribute meaningfully from day one.

Backed by leading global investors like General Catalyst, EQT Ventures, and Altimeter Capital, we’re scaling with a clear ambition: to become the global category leader in enterprise‑grade conversational AI.

Compensation for this role is structured as On‑Target Earnings (OTE), consisting of a base salary and performance‑based variable component, in addition to an equity package.

Salary Range: $180,000 USD - $200,000 USD
