PagerDuty is seeking a Principal Solutions Consultant to join our talented, customer-focused team! You will be a key strategic leader and the "technical face" of PagerDuty across the US region. This is a high-impact role that sits at the intersection of Sales, Product, and Engineering. You won’t just be selling a platform; you will be partnering with CTOs, CIOs, and VPs of Engineering at the US’s most influential enterprises to redefine how they manage digital operations, resilience, and automation.
You will act as a bridge between our customers’ long-term strategic needs and PagerDuty’s product roadmap. You will spend your time evangelizing the PagerDuty Operations Cloud, mentoring our high-performing technical sales teams, and acting as a trusted advisor to the C-suite on topics ranging from AIOps and SRE maturity to digital transformation and cloud migration.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as a peer and advisor to customer CTOs and CIOs, helping them navigate complex digital transformations and operationalizing the PagerDuty Operations Cloud within their organizations.
- Represent PagerDuty as a thought leader at major industry events and through digital content, white-papers, and local media.
- Partner closely with our Global Product and Engineering leadership in San Francisco to ensure the unique requirements of the US markets are represented in our long-term roadmap.
- Provide architectural oversight and executive presence for our most complex, high-stakes enterprise opportunities across the US.
- Foster a local community of DevOps and SRE leaders, sharing best practices on operational excellence, incident response, and the ethical application of AI in operations.
- Stay ahead of the curve on the competitive landscape, identifying market shifts and technical trends that PagerDuty can capitalize on.
Who You Are
- You have a deep-seated passion for the future of digital operations. You can articulate not just where the industry is today, but where it will be in 3–5 years.
- You are equally comfortable white-boarding a complex micro services architecture with a Lead Architect as you are presenting a business value case to a Board of Directors.
- You have a strong technical foundation. You understand the "pains" of the modern developer because you’ve lived them.
- You don’t just want to close deals; you want to ensure customers achieve their desired outcomes and see PagerDuty as a mission-critical partner.
