Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Solution Architect, you'll be a pivotal team member who connects the client's technical, functional, and implementation requirements with a solution design and proposal. You'll work closely with clients and sellers to build solutions based on meeting the client's business outcomes and known best practices for the technology and industry.
In this fast-paced role, you'll design and construct a build work breakdown structure, leading to the rough order of magnitude, price, and statement of work. A successful Solution Architect will demonstrate a natural bias towards self-motivation and navigating data and people to find answers and present solutions that ensure world-class delivery.
