About Eightfold
Eightfold is a global leader in an AI-native enterprise talent platform, trusted by the world’s largest & most respected Fortune 500 organisations. Our platform is built from the ground up, operating at scale across Azure and AWS, deployed in multiple regions globally, including IL4-compliant environments for the US Government, supporting users in 100+ countries and 40+ languages. Today, Eightfold is at the forefront of agentic AI, delivering intelligent agents that actively drive outcomes across hiring and talent workflows, while much of the industry is still experimenting with prototypes. Backed by over $410M in funding and valued at $2B+, we are defining the next era of agentic talent systems.
What sets Eightfold apart is not just the technology & our mission, but the team behind it. We are a deeply technical, execution-driven organisation that values ownership, collaboration, and high standards. Our engineers, product leaders, and go-to-market teams work closely together — in person and across functions — to build systems that scale in the real world. If you’re excited to work on hard problems, move with urgency, raise the bar every day, and help build agentic systems that transform how the world works, Eightfold is the place to do it.
About the team
The Solutions Consulting team at Eightfold delivers spectacular interactions and experiences with our prospects, customers, and partners. In a fast-paced environment, we focus on continuous learning, outstanding performance, and results. We work with companies and organisations across the globe in a variety of industries. We have a very close relationship with our Engineering and Product teams and are encouraged to build long-term relationships within our network of customers. We will consider applicants with HR/TA practitioner experience if they are willing to move into a career in Solutions Consulting.
About the Role
What you will do:
Partner with Sales leadership and Account Executives to shape overall account and territory strategy, not just support individual deals — setting the technical and business case narrative for the most strategic, highest-value opportunities
Act as a trusted strategic advisor to C-suite and senior executive stakeholders, connecting our solutions to their long-term business transformation and workforce strategy, not just immediate pain points
Design and lead executive-level workshops and strategic advisory sessions that shape how prospects and customers rethink their talent/business processes at an organisational level
Own technical and functional strategy across the most complex, highest-stakes deals — setting the playbook other Solutions Consultants follow, and stepping in to unblock deal execution at the executive level
Serve as a senior voice into product strategy — representing patterns across our top-tier customers and prospects to product leadership, and directly shaping roadmap priorities and go-to-market positioning
Architect multi-phase, enterprise-wide solution strategies for our largest and most strategic customers, spanning multiple business units or geographies
Own strategic, executive-level relationships across the full customer lifecycle — from pre-sales through expansion and renewal — acting as a long-term trusted partner rather than a point-in-time resource
Serve as an external thought leader on the future of talent strategy and technology, communicating vision directly to business and industry leaders
Represent the company as a keynote speaker, panelist, and subject-matter expert at premier industry events, and mentor/coach other Solutions Consultants to raise the bar across the team
What we need:
A track record of transforming how organisations think about talent, and a genuine desire to be a senior, visible leader on an awesome team
A strong focus on helping enterprise customers define, achieve, and continuously expand success at a strategic level
Exceptional executive-level communication skills, paired with deep technical credibility
An affinity for the startup space and AI technology, with a demonstrated history of owning, building, and growing not just yourself but the people and teams around you
Extensive customer-facing experience, including regular engagement with C-suite and senior executive stakeholders
Significant (typically 8+ years) Solutions Consulting/Sales Engineering experience, including experience mentoring or informally leading other SCs
Deep experience in Talent Intelligence, Human Capital Management, Talent Acquisition, or Talent Management, ideally including exposure to enterprise-scale, multi-region deployments
Hands-on experience with enterprise AI technologies (e.g., LLMs, agentic AI, machine learning-driven matching/recommendation engines) highly desirable — ability to speak credibly to how AI is architected, governed, and deployed at enterprise scale is a strong differentiator
Experience with demo automation software is a plus
Exceptional presentation skills in English, with comfort presenting to large or executive audiences
Ready to sell the future of hiring? If you're excited about AI, hungry to learn, and want to launch your career at the intersection of technology and talent, apply now.
We are a team of self-starters who excel in their fields. We believe in giving you responsibility, not a task. We want you to have ownership and pride in your work and see your work's positive impact on your colleagues, our customers, and the world. We believe in providing transparency and support so you can do the best work of your career.
Hybrid Work @ Eightfold - At Eightfold, we believe our best work happens when we collaborate closely, learn from one another, and build together. We follow a hybrid work model that combines flexibility with a strong emphasis on in-person collaboration to foster innovation, culture, and rapid execution.
Employees based near our Santa Clara, London, Bangalore, and Noida offices are expected to work from the office three days per week, as we believe regular in-person engagement is essential to how we build high-impact products and strong teams.
