Senior Principal Solution Engineer

Strength in Trust

OneTrust’s mission is to enable innovation through the responsible use of data and AI. We believe that ensuring data is trusted shouldn’t slow teams down—it should accelerate what’s possible. This led us to develop the first technology platform for responsible data use in 2016. Today, with AI representing the latest and most impactful expansion of data yet, OneTrust is once again redefining what responsible innovation looks like. OneTrust, the AI‑Ready Governance Platform™, unifies regulatory intelligence, automation, and connected governance workflows so businesses can continue to move at the speed of AI while ensuring good governance to prevent data misuse at scale. Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide, OneTrust is shaping the future where trusted data becomes a transformative force for business and society.

The Challenge

We’re looking for a Senior Principal Solutions Engineer to shape and lead technical strategy for OneTrust’s most strategic and complex opportunities in the UK & Ireland. Reporting to the Solutions Engineering Manager, you will bring broad portfolio fluency, deep enterprise technology expertise, executive-level customer engagement, and commercial judgement to help customers solve business-critical challenges with OneTrust.

You will partner closely with Sales, Customer Success, Product, Engineering and partners to build deep account alignment, progress complex buying decisions, and create measurable customer and commercial outcomes. You will be a trusted advisor to senior customer stakeholders and a force multiplier for the Solutions Engineering organisation: setting s high bar, developing reusable approaches, and coaching others to raise the quality of our work. AI Governance is an important area of expertise for this role, alongside the breadth to lead opportunities across OneTrust’s entire platform.

Your Mission

• Lead technical strategy for the highest-impact, most complex opportunities across OneTrust’s solutions portfolio, aligning the customer’s business priorities, technology environment, risk posture, architecture and decision process to the right OneTrust solutions and measurable outcomes. Bring particular depth in AI Governance where relevant to the customer’s needs.

• Build deep account alignment with Account Executives, Customer Success and other partners. Map the buying group and executive sponsors; understand account priorities and whitespace; and shape a coordinated, multi-stakeholder motion that advances the opportunity and contributes to sustainable ACV growth. Partner with the commercial account owners on expansion strategy; this role does not replace their ownership of the customer relationship.

• Engage credibly with executive and practitioner stakeholders—including CIO/CTO, CISO, Chief AI and Data leaders, Privacy, Legal, Risk, Security, Procurement, and AI/ML Engineering—to connect governance requirements with business value and delivery realities.

• Lead discovery and solution design for complex enterprise programmes across relevant OneTrust solution areas, translating fragmented requirements, regulatory obligations and technical constraints into practical, scalable operating models, architectures and workflows.

• Bring deep technical expertise in OneTrust’s solutions, enterprise integrations and the technology ecosystems relevant to each opportunity. Advise on APIs, data flows, identity and access, cloud and platform architecture, and—where relevant—AI/ML lifecycles and operational controls; identify risks and dependencies early; and recommend implementable designs.

• Lead tailored demonstrations, technical evaluations, proofs of concept, RFP responses and executive presentations across the portfolio. Set clear success criteria, prove technical fit and business value, and use evaluation outcomes to build stakeholder confidence and progress the sales motion.

• Articulate OneTrust’s differentiated value and position solutions thoughtfully against alternatives, connecting customer requirements to the most relevant solution capabilities, integrations and roadmap—including AI Governance where applicable—without overpromising.

• Act as a strategic bridge between the field and Product, Engineering, Marketing and leadership. Bring structured customer and competitive insight to inform product direction, positioning, packaging and go-to-market strategy.

• Create reusable solution patterns, account-planning practices, demos, technical guidance and field assets that improve consistency and outcomes beyond an individual opportunity.

• Coach and mentor Solutions Engineers and cross-functional partners in portfolio knowledge, strategic discovery, technical storytelling, executive engagement and complex deal execution, sharing AI Governance expertise where relevant.

• Maintain accurate opportunity strategy, technical risks, evaluation plans and next steps in Salesforce, in partnership with the account team.

What Success Looks Like

• You are a trusted technical and strategic partner on the business’s most consequential opportunities across OneTrust’s solutions portfolio, improving deal progression and technical win outcomes.

• You build durable alignment across customer executives, practitioners and the OneTrust account team, connecting the right OneTrust solutions to funded priorities and demonstrable business value—including AI Governance where relevant.

• Your work contributes to healthy ACV growth by helping account teams identify, shape and win the right strategic opportunities.

• Customers see a credible path from their business priorities to operational outcomes, with connected, secure, scalable and realistic recommendations across the relevant OneTrust solutions.…
