Solution Architecture Role - IT

Solution Architect

Purpose of the Job:

- The Solution Architect is responsible for supporting the Systems Integration (SI) sales opportunities within Technology team(s) to ensure that solutions proposed to clients meet the client- s needs and expectations, and can also be delivered in a reliable and predictable way within budget.

- This frequently requires balancing competing priorities, using innovative commercial and technical approaches to minimise risk and to meet challenging business cases. This means that the Solution Architect needs to demonstrate creativity and soft skills in driving consensus and alignment across multiple stakeholders, as well as more traditional technical, project management and commercial skills to arrive at optimum best fit solution response.

- The Solution Architect needs to act as a single point of contact (SPOC) for the opportunity throughout the sales process. This involves coordinating between Technology, Industry, Bid team, Global Delivery teams, other solution architect(s), subject matter experts (SMEs), reviewers and approvers to ensure a winning, differentiated, deliverable and approved solution.
