The Role 

As we scale our impact in the world, the complexity of our customers' environments grows too. We're looking for a hands-on technical pre-sales leader to build and lead our Technical Architecture function — owning how SafetyCulture fits into our customers’ enterprise ecosystem.

This role sits at the intersection of Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Services Partners. You'll lead a small, high-impact global team of customer-facing Technical Architects focused on areas like identity, integrations, reporting, and analytics. You'll also play a key role in shaping how we work with implementation partners and support enterprise deals.

• Build the Technical Pre-sales Function: Define what great technical architecture looks like at SafetyCulture — processes, playbooks, tooling, and standards.
• Lead the Team: Hire, coach, and support a team of customer-facing Technical Architects. Guide their work across pre-sales focused on Enterprise and Strategic Accounts.
• Be hands on: Also work directly with customers yourself, leading from the front with your team, experiencing first hand their environments, challenges and delivering impact for SafetyCulture.

• You are a magnet for talent, with a proven leadership track record of hiring, developing and growing outstanding pre-sales or solutions engineering talent that ultimately drives success. You’ll wake up every day focused on building a world class team that can help our customers solve their problems. 
• Deep knowledge of enterprise IT environments—identity (SSO, SCIM), APIs, reporting platforms, data architecture and security. 
• Strong commercial acumen—you understand the business impact of architecture decisions and how to support enterprise sales teams globally. 
• Experience working with or managing services partners - national systems integrators and GSIs. 
• A relentless focus on the customer - from understanding business and market challenges they face to role modelling what a great customer partnership looks like for the teams. 
• Experience and success in working in a truly global environment - across timezones, cultures and geographies. Our heritage is in Australia but our impact is global and you’ll be an effective leader at managing stakeholders across functions and countries.
• Outstanding communication and presentation skill
• This is an opportunity to join a team and a company that can truly change the world and have a meaningful impact. If you have much of what we’re looking for we’d love to hear from you.
