Key skills for this role
The Onboarding & Solutions Engineer is a Niche product and industry expert responsible for managing customer onboarding and optimization of some of Niche’s most impactful products (Engage, Direct Admissions, and Yield). Unlike traditional Account Managers, Solutions Engineers do not own a book of business. Instead, they operate on a case-assignment model, executing high-impact "sprints" to get customers live or optimized, and acting as a technical escalation point for deep-dive product inquiries. They serve as our expert voice on the industry, our products, and how customers can best succeed on the Niche platform.
Solution Engineers are measured on achievement of time-to-value (TTV) for relevant products, and ensure customers are set up to realize ROI, allowing Account Managers to focus on day to day relationship and commercial growth.
Niche is the leader in school search. Our mission is to make researching and enrolling in schools easy, transparent, and free. With in-depth profiles on every school and college in America, 140 million reviews and ratings, and powerful search tools, we help millions of people find the right school for them. We also help thousands of schools recruit more best-fit students, by highlighting what makes them great and making it easier to visit and apply.
Niche is all about finding where you belong, and that mission inspires how we operate every day. We want Niche to be a place where people truly enjoy working and can thrive professionally.
