About Fresco



Fresco is a smart kitchen platform trusted by leading appliance brands around the world to build and scale connected cooking experiences. Our platform helps brands launch faster, deliver better experiences for home cooks, and accelerate their digital transformation.



Our mission is to empower anyone to cook delicious food.



Powered by KitchenOS and the Fresco AI Cooking Companion, Fresco connects appliances across brands, supports rapid onboarding, and scales globally in more than 15 languages. We work with partners including Panasonic, Middleby, Kenwood, Instant Pot Brands, Bosch, GE Appliances, Arda and LG, and operate as a global team with offices in Dublin and Madrid.

About the Role

As the Director, Solution Architecture, you will lead the function that bridges customer needs with Fresco's technical capabilities. You'll shape how we position the product in complex sales cycles, define implementation strategy, and ensure new clients achieve rapid, successful adoption.



You'll own the pre-sales technical strategy, oversee high-impact demos and solution design, and drive a seamless transition from prospect to live customer. This is a highly strategic, cross-functional role partnering closely with Sales, Product, Delivery and Engineering -- ideal for a leader who excels at both deep technical problem-solving and building repeatable processes at scale.



Beyond hands-on expertise, you'll help define the long-term vision for Solutions Architecture, introduce best practices, and ensure our partner experience is consistently world-class.
