Solution Consultant - I

New Relic New Relic · Enterprise · Victoria · Customer Solutions Hub

This role is a Solution Consultant focused on supporting New Relic's partner ecosystem. The primary responsibility is technical enablement, solution design, and pre-sales support for partners selling New Relic's observability platform. While the company operates in an "AI-first world" and has an "intelligent platform," the role itself is not directly building or shipping AI/ML models or systems. It's about enabling partners to sell and deliver existing observability solutions, which may incorporate AI features.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and execute structured enablement plans for assigned partners, delivering workshops, "train-the-trainer" sessions, and technical coaching to close skill gaps and build technical autonomy.
  2. Act as an observability architect and "Swat Team" member for high-value partner-led opportunities, assisting with complex solution design, demonstrations, and Proofs of Value (POVs).
  3. Serve as an "air traffic controller" between internal teams (AEs, SCs, TSMs) and partners to determine the best route to success for every customer opportunity sourced by Partners.
  4. Maintain project-level discipline for all engagements, tracking risks, resource utilization, and status in central systems.
  5. Channel "in the trenches" insights from partners and customers back to internal Product and Practice teams to influence the future roadmap and GTM strategy.
