Full Job Description
We9re hiring a Post-Sales Solution Architecture Manager to lead the team that turns successful sales into lasting customer relationships. You9ll ensure customers don9t just implement Sanity-they build on it, expand with it, and become its biggest advocates. Your leadership will directly shape our retention and growth, and how we earn long-term trust with the developer and content teams we serve.

What you9ll be doing
  • You9ll lead a solution architecture team that helps our existing enterprise customers realize deep, lasting value from Sanity. Your focus is on outcomes: successful renewals, expansion into new use cases and business units, and implementations that hold up as customers grow.
  • In practice, that means setting the team9s strategic direction and personally owning your most complex, high-stakes accounts: overseeing implementations, building relationships with customer stakeholders, and navigating the moments where things get hard. You9ll coach your Solution Architects on how to run value-oriented engagements: listening for what customers actually need, surfacing risks before they become problems, and mapping a clear path to success with Sanity at the center.
  • You9ll hire, develop, and retain a skilled SA team that9s equally credible with developers, architects, product leaders, and content teams-and you9ll build an environment where they can do their best work. That means identifying what each person is great at, helping them grow their careers, and fostering a strong culture of collaboration, empathy, and customer-centricity grounded in Sanity9s core values.
  • You9ll also help evolve the core post-sales motions (onboarding, implementation reviews, expansion discovery, and health monitoring) so customers move from signed to successful quickly. A big part of this role is connecting Sanity9s capabilities to customers9 business outcomes: showing customers how structured content, flexible workflows, and the modern content stack unlock faster shipping, better editorial experiences, and scalable growth.
  • This role is deeply cross-functional. You9ll partner closely with Sales to drive expansion opportunities and work with Product and R&D to ensure customer feedback shapes roadmap priorities.
