WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

The Solutions Engineering Team at Box includes solutions engineers, value engineering, platform solution engineering, enterprise architects, and demo engineering. As a Public Sector Solutions Engineering Manager, you will lead and grow a team that sells to business and IT leaders across state, local, education, and specialized public sector accounts. You will own the technical strategy for the region, ensure consistent execution of customer-centric solutions, and partner closely with Sales to expand Box’s footprint in new and existing public sector accounts. You will also serve as a critical liaison between Sales and Product — translating customer feedback into actionable insights for Product Management, Operations, and Engineering.

This role focuses on U.S. Public Sector customers. We’re looking for a manager who understands procurement, compliance, and mission needs across SLED, CJIS, and other government programs, and who can coach a team to deliver high-impact, compliant solutions. If you enjoy white boarding, problem-solving, and mentoring technical teams, we want to talk to you.

• Travel up to 40% to engage with customers and work with team members
