Senior Manager, Solution Architecture - Existing Customers

At Sanity , we're building the future of AI-powered Content Operations. Our AI Content Operating System gives teams the freedom to model, create, and automate content the way their business works, accelerating digital development and supercharging content operations efficiency. Companies like PUMA, Spotify, Figma, Riot Games, and Skims are using Sanity to power and automate their content operations.

We're hiring a Post-Sales Solution Architecture Manager to lead the team that turns successful sales into lasting customer relationships. You'll ensure customers don't 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 you'll be doing

You'll 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 team's 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. You'll 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.

You'll hire, develop, and retain a skilled SA team that's equally credible with developers, architects, product leaders, and content teams—and you'll 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 Sanity's core values.

You'll 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 Sanity's capabilities to customers’ 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. You'll partner closely with Sales to drive expansion opportunities and work with Product and R&D to ensure customer feedback shapes roadmap priorities.
