Job Description

Solution Director

Motorq

Role Description Motorq's go-to-market success depends in large part on our ability to show — not just tell — what connected vehicle intelligence can do. The Solution Director leads the team that makes that happen. This is a senior leadership role responsible for building and managing Motorq's Forward Deployed Engineering team and owning the presales motion end to end. The Solution Director combines the technical fluency to understand Motorq's platform deeply with the business acumen to frame its value in terms that resonate with fleet operators, technology buyers, and executive stakeholders alike. The Solution Director is a player-coach: - Lead a growing team of Forward Deployed Engineers. - Set the standard for how Motorq shows up in the field. - Personally engage in the most strategic deals and customer relationships. - Bring prior consulting experience to structure complex problems. - Translate technical capability into business impact. This role sits at the intersection of sales, product, and engineering — and the Solution Director is expected to influence all three. What You'll Do - Lead, manage, and develop Motorq's Forward Deployed Engineering team. - Own the presales technical motion — from discovery and demo strategy through proof-of-concept design, workshop facilitation, and proposal support. - Personally engage in strategic deals and top-tier customer relationships. - Build and continuously improve the presales playbook. - Collaborate closely with the VP of Sales and Strategic Customer Executive team. - Evangelize Motorq's full platform to both technical and executive audiences. - Partner with Product and Engineering to feed field intelligence into the roadmap. - Develop the team's capability in AI and agentic product demonstrations. - Represent Motorq at industry events, conferences, and partner engagements. Who You Are - A leader and a practitioner who invests in the growth of your team. - Business-first in your thinking, understanding the business problem before reaching for a technical solution. - Technically credible, able to hold rigorous conversations with a customer's engineering team. - A structured communicator, organizing ideas and structuring presentations effectively. - A builder, energized by creating systems, tools, and culture for high team performance. - Deeply curious about AI, following the evolution of agentic systems and LLM-powered applications. Qualifications - 7+ years of experience in presales, solutions engineering, technical consulting, or forward deployed engineering roles, including at least 2 years in a people management capacity. - Prior experience at a top-tier management consulting firm or enterprise technology consulting practice is strongly preferred. - Track record of building and leading high-performing technical presales or solutions teams in a B2B SaaS or data platform environment. - Background in fleet management, telematics, automotive software, mobility, or connected vehicle platforms is a strong plus. - Technical fluency across APIs, data platforms, SQL, and scripting (Python or similar). - Familiarity with AI/ML concepts — LLMs, agentic workflows, RAG, evaluation frameworks. - Outstanding communication and executive presence. - Willingness to travel regularly to customer sites, industry events, and team meetings across the US. Logistics - Full-time role, remote-first. - Hybrid if based in the SF Bay Area. - Regular travel expected — approximately 8–10 business days per month. Compensation & Benefits - Base salary: $160,000–$220,000 per year. - Performance bonus of up to 15% based on individual and company performance. - Equity participation. - Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid parental leave.

Role Description Motorq is at an important inflection point — scaling revenue, expanding into new markets, and building the operational and commercial foundations that will take us to the next level. The Strategy Director will work at the center of that effort, partnering directly with the President and senior leadership team to tackle the company's most important and complex challenges. This is a senior individual contributor role for a structured thinker who knows how to move from insight to action. The Strategy Director's mandate is deliberately broad: - Own Motorq's pricing architecture. - Lead high-priority special projects. - Step in wherever clear thinking and strong execution are needed most. One quarter you may be redesigning the company's packaging and pricing model; the next you may be building the business case for a new market entry, structuring a partnership framework, or leading a cross-functional initiative that doesn't fit neatly anywhere else. What You'll Do - Own Motorq's pricing strategy — analyzing market dynamics, customer willingness to pay, competitive positioning, and unit economics to develop and continuously refine a pricing and packaging model that drives growth and reflects the value we deliver. - Lead special projects assigned by the President and CEO — from market entry analysis and competitive intelligence to partnership structuring, board materials, and cross-functional operational initiatives. - Build rigorous, data-driven business cases for strategic decisions — synthesizing internal data, market research, and customer insight into clear recommendations with defined success metrics. - Partner with Sales, Product, Finance, and Customer Success to ensure strategic initiatives translate into execution. - Develop frameworks and tools that help Motorq's leadership team make faster, better decisions — including scenario models, competitive trackers, and market sizing analyses. - Support investor relations and board-level communication where needed — preparing materials, synthesizing business performance, and articulating Motorq's strategic narrative. - Identify and structure new business opportunities — whether that means a new customer segment, a new product monetization path, or a strategic partnership — and build the case for action. - Act as a thought partner to the leadership team on any high-priority question where structured thinking and independent analysis add value. Who You Are - A structured problem solver — you instinctively break complex, ambiguous problems into components, identify what matters most, and build a clear path to a recommendation. - An operator, not just an analyst — you take ownership of outcomes, not just outputs. - Commercially sharp — you understand how SaaS businesses make money and how pricing decisions affect buyer behavior. - Direct and clear — your communication is precise, your slides are tight, and you can walk a CEO or board member through a complex issue without losing them. - Adaptable and fast — you shift between strategic and tactical fluidly, you learn new domains quickly, and you don't need a defined playbook to get started. - Low-ego and high-impact — you are motivated by making the company better, not by owning territory, and you work collaboratively with every function. Qualifications - 4–8 years of professional experience, including at least 2–3 years at a top-tier management consulting firm (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or equivalent). - Experience in automotive, mobility, fleet management, connected vehicle, or enterprise software — either through consulting engagements or subsequent operating roles — is a strong plus. - Demonstrated ability to own and deliver complex, cross-functional projects from problem definition through execution. - Deep expertise in pricing strategy — including SaaS pricing models, value-based pricing, packaging design, and competitive benchmarking. - Strong financial modeling and analytical skills — comfortable building and pressure-testing models in Excel or equivalent tools. - Experience working directly with senior leadership or C-suite executives in a fast-paced environment. - MBA from a top program is a plus, but not required if the consulting and operating experience is strong. Logistics - Full-time role, remote-first. - Hybrid if based in the SF Bay Area. - Travel approximately 3–5 business days per month, primarily to the SF Bay Area and key partner or customer engagements. Compensation & Benefits - Base salary: $160,000–$220,000 per year. - Equity participation. - Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid parental leave.
