11–500 employees · Series A–C · Fees agreed in USD
FOUNDER TO HIRING MANAGER
I'm Daniel Bryant. I built Kolvera, an AI sales intelligence platform. That gives me a practical way to question how candidates demonstrate a product, work through an integration and get a customer live.
An SE owns the technical evaluation before signature. An Implementation Consultant owns delivery after it. An FDE writes and deploys code in the customer account. Each needs a different screen.
You work directly with me from the first brief through offer. We agree the role, scorecard and search plan before sourcing begins.
US SEARCH FOCUS
Sales Engineering and Implementation lead our US work. We scope adjacent technical roles around what the person will own.
Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Consultant
Pre-sales specialists who build the demo, own the proof of concept and earn technical sign-off. Our lead US search focus.
We screen for a demo they built, POC ownership and technical evaluation depth.
Implementation Consultant, Implementation Manager, Technical Account Manager
Post-sale technical talent who configure the platform, get customers live and own the ongoing technical relationship.
We screen for configuration depth, integration ownership and time to value.
Forward Deployed Engineer, AI Deployment Engineer, customer-facing Deployment Architect
Engineers who ship working software inside the customer account. A distinct search from pre-sales or internal software engineering.
We scope the coding, deployment and customer-facing requirements before starting the search.
Enterprise Customer Success Manager, Strategic CSM, Technical CSM
Complex account owners accountable for adoption, expansion and net revenue retention. Focused on enterprise and technical CS.
We screen for book complexity, renewal ownership and measurable expansion outcomes.
Revenue Operations Manager, Sales Operations Manager, GTM Engineer
Internal systems builders who connect sales process, data and automation. Available for a specific brief alongside our technical customer-facing searches.
We separate hands-on systems ownership from CRM administration.
Tell us the outcomes, seniority, location and compensation budget. We will test the brief against the target market before agreeing a search. Base salary, variable pay and equity are discussed separately.
