ABOUT THE ROLE...

We're looking for an experienced Vice President, Solutions that will report directly to our Chief Revenue Officer. As Vice President, Solutions you will build one organization out of three disciplines — presales solution engineering, professional services, and value engineering. One team, one standard, accountable for the technical and economic win on every deal that matters.

To be direct about the profile: we want someone who is passionate about winning. Not about elegant architecture diagrams, not about being right in the room — about winning the deal, and building a team that feels the same way. You will sit on the GTM leadership team, report to the CRO, and carry a number with real variable attached to it. You bring an AI-first mindset to how you work, how you demo, and how you lead.

Digimarc is at a pivotal growth phase. We have a storied history, a great platform, and some of the most recognizable retailers and brands in the world as customers. We are actively sharpening product market fit across our key industries, deciding where we win and doubling down there. The technical function is where much of that gets proven: every demo, every evaluation, every business case is a test of whether we win here and how. Today these disciplines sit apart. You will bring them together and build something iconic: a world-class technical GTM organization that sellers fight to have on their deals and competitors dread seeing across the table. There is no playbook to administer. You will write it.

The goal is simple: win rates, deal sizes, and ARR. Within the first 6 months, expect a unified team structure, a documented demo standard, an SE certification program live, and value engineering engaged on the top strategic opportunities. Within 12 months, expect measurable movement in win rate and average deal size, with the technical function a named driver of both.

This role requires 50% travel.

WHAT YOU WILL DO…

• Build one team out of three. Unify solution engineering, professional services, and value engineering into a single organization with one standard, one operating rhythm, and one definition of winning. Structure it, staff it, and lead it.
• Set the demo bar and enforce it. Establish best-in-class demo me
