🎯 Your main goal will be to build and lead a high-performing regional Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team that accelerates enterprise customer adoption by turning high-impact automation use cases into production-ready workflows. You'll own technical delivery quality, team development, and regional execution, while staying hands-on and empowering customers to become independent, successful builders.
To achieve this, you'll focus on four key areas:
Build & Lead a High-Performing FDE TeamHire, onboard, and coach Forward Deployed Engineers across your region, partnering closely with Deployment Strategists to deliver high-impact customer engagements.
Set and maintain a high technical quality bar for production workflows, custom nodes, integration architectures, and customer-facing delivery.
Manage regional team capacity, workload, and staffing while staying hands-on with customer engagements and supporting your team's technical development.
Lead regional engagement intake and prioritization with Customer Success, Sales, and Partnerships, focusing resources on high-value accounts, strategic adoption opportunities, and at-risk renewals.
Qualify and scope customer engagements, selecting the right mix of internal FDEs and delivery partners while ensuring clear success criteria, technical ownership, and timelines.
Drive measurable customer outcomes through production-ready workflows, increased adoption, and seamless handovers to Customer Success Managers, while reporting regional results and expansion signals to leadership.
Champion a customer-first delivery approach where customers build alongside FDEs, develop technical confidence, and become capable of maintaining and scaling their own automations.
Create and continuously improve reusable technical assets, including workflow templates, reference architectures, workshop materials, and hackathon playbooks.
Capture learnings from customer engagements and turn them into scalable best practices that improve delivery quality and consistency across the global FDE team.
Collaborate with regional partner managers and the Partner Delivery Manager to ensure partner-led engagements meet n8n's technical and delivery standards.
Support partner technical readiness, certification, and quality reviews to build a reliable regional ecosystem of delivery resources.
