This is a highly visible role where you’ll shape how we sell, evaluate, and implement Pliant with finance teams — and directly influence our product and integration roadmap.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

5+ years working with/in Solutions Consulting / Sales Engineering / Solutions Architecture (ideally in fintech, payments, expense/spend, or SaaS with technical integrations)

Strong finance/accounting fluency — you can speak credibly about finance workflows, controls, approvals, and reporting needs

Comfort designing and explaining integration concepts together with technical solution engineers (APIs, SFTP/file flows, data mapping, permissions, and security considerations)

Proven ability to influence and present to executive and technical stakeholders (virtual + in-person) & comfort reading technical docs

Experience navigating complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities

High ownership, strong project management instincts, and comfort operating in a fast-paced, build-the-plane environment

Familiarity with ERP/accounting ecosystems, identity providers, HRIS, or procurement workflows

Experience partnering directly with Product/ Engineering to shape roadmap based on enterprise needs 

Career & Leadership Fast Track

This role is designed as a career accelerator. As you master the product, deals, and customer landscape, you’ll have a clear path to grow into multiple avenues depending on your strengths and interests, including:

Solutions Consulting Leadership (building and leading the function)

Product or Product Strategy (owning key workflows and integration surfaces)
