Join a founder-led AI consultancy with its roots in the Salesforce ecosystem as its first Technical AI Solutions Lead. This is a hybrid of solution architecture and AI delivery. You will set the approach, run discovery and own the technical story with the client in pre-sales, then get hands-on to prototype, integrate and get solutions working in the client’s real environment. As the team grows, you will lead that delivery.

This is a permanent full time role, reporting directly to the Founder. We prefer a Sydney based candidate but are open to Melbourne and Brisbane for the right person.

The role

• Lead technical pre-sales with the Founder and Account Lead, design the solution, scope and approach

• Design and deliver outcome-focused AI projects for various clients, often replacing large and expensive consulting engagements, delivering value faster

• Design and build agentic AI solutions, from agents on Agentforce to multi-step workflows across the client’s wider systems, and get them into production

• Get hands-on during build, and guide and review the contractors who currently deliver some of the work

• Spend time at client sites in Sydney and Melbourne to understand the real problem and prove the solution

• Build the delivery playbook: how the team scopes, builds and hands over AI work

• Jump in wherever the business needs you. It is a very small team, so this is no role to hide in

Skills and experience

• Strong technical background as a solution architect, forward deployed engineer or technical pre-sales lead

• Hands-on experience building agentic AI and LLM solutions, from agent design and orchestration to testing and guardrails, beyond the demo

• Salesforce and Agentforce experience is highly desired

• Confident in front of various stakeholders, able to scope, challenge and explain value and risks

• Preferrably Agentforce certified

Why should you apply

• Chance to step up and lead an FDE function as the business grows

• Direct access to the founder and a clear path to lead

• Genuine ownership and impact

• Exciting projects, genuinely outcome driven.

• Equity and bonuses can be part of the salary conversations

• Flexible, hybrid working, with a founder who hires for people first

Must be Australian Permanent Resident or Citizen. No sponsorship available.
