As Fireblocks continues to scale, we are investing in leadership roles that enable teams to grow sustainably, execute with consistency, and maintain the technical credibility our customers expect.
The RoleThe Sales Engineering Manager is a people-first, execution-focused leadership role responsible for the day-to-day effectiveness of the Core Sales Engineering team. This role exists to ensure high-quality, consistent pre-sales execution as the organization scales, while creating a supportive environment where Sales Engineers can do their best work and continue to grow.
This is a non-player manager role. The focus is not on owning deals directly, but on coaching, prioritisation, execution discipline, and team health. The role partners closely with Sales, Product, and Sales Engineering leadership to ensure Core opportunities are supported effectively and sustainably.
