As a Senior Solutions Engineer at Gainsight, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to our clients, ensuring their Gainsight instance is optimized for adoption, scalability, and long-term success. This is a post-onboarding role, meaning you'll work with customers after their initial implementation is complete to drive ongoing technical strategy, adoption, and optimization.

Act as a seamless extension of your customers’ operations team.
Deliver enablement sessions to empower Gainsight Admins and key stakeholders.
Build strong, trust-based relationships with clients, including technical and executive stakeholders.
Proactively identify risks or blockers and collaborate cross-functionally to resolve them.
Contribute to internal best practices, templates, and delivery frameworks.
Track project hours and maintain target utilization.
What we are looking for:
3 to 8 years of experience in Professional Services, Technical Consulting, or Enterprise SaaS implementation.
Hands-on experience with CRM platforms (Salesforce.com preferred), databases, and data integration tools.
Strong understanding of Customer Success principles and ability to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.
Experience managing multiple customer projects simultaneously (5–10 engagements).
Familiarity with agile and waterfall delivery methodologies.
Executive presence and confidence in communicating with both technical and business leaders.
Excellent communication, facilitation, and presentation skills.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Prior experience with Gainsight CS and/or Customer Success Operations (CS Ops) is highly preferred.
Experience in a post-onboarding or ongoing account management role is strongly preferred.
BA/BS degree or equivalent experience required.
Scripting experience in Python or Node.js to support custom solutions and automation is a plus.
Salesforce certification or experience is a plus.
Your job shouldn’t stand in the way of your happiness—it should be a path to achieve it. At Gainsight, we’re passionate about achieving our goals—at the office and everywhere—and we work every day to create an environment that nurtures our best selves.
