Enterprise Solution Architect

ost complex pursuits, partnering closely with Sales to architect commercially viable, multi‑tower solutions that work for both the client and Ensono. This is a pre‑sales, client‑facing role with real ownership - from early qualification through close and into handoff. You'll balance technical credibility, commercial acumen, and executive presence to help win transformational deals.

• Lead solution architecture for large, complex, multi‑tower pursuits, acting as the overall solution owner.

• Partner deeply with Sales to shape deals, not just support them - influencing scope, structure, pricing approach, and value.

• Orchestrate cross‑functional teams across Sales, Consulting, Product, Finance, Legal, and Delivery to create winning solutions.

• Lead and participate in client discovery and solutioning workshops, ensuring outcomes align to business goals and commercial realities.

• Develop and present clear, compelling solution narratives and business cases to technical and executive audiences.

• Help build commercial constructs and pricing models for IT outsourcing, managed services, cloud, and transformation deals.

• Participate in deal reviews, advising senior leadership on commercial viability, risk, and competitive positioning.

• Drive smooth post‑close transitions by supporting solution handoff, knowledge transfer, and deal documentation.

• Create and evolve client‑facing collateral and solution assets, often building new materials from scratch.

What Sets This Role Apart

• This is not a purely technical architect role.

• You bring strong business and financial acumen, with the ability to apply it in complex deal environments, helping structure solutions that balance value, risk, and profitability.

• You'll work on high‑stakes, high‑visibility pursuits, while also flexing to support smaller deals and renewals when needed.

• You'll operate in a pod model (paired with another SA), aligned closely to a dedicated sales leader.
