Company & Role

A well-established and highly respected IT solutions and managed services provider is entering an exciting growth phase, with ambitious plans over the next two years. Known for delivering innovative cloud, infrastructure, workspace and managed service solutions, this company partners with leading vendors including VMware, NetApp, DellEMC, and Microsoft.

As a Pre-Sales Solutions Architect, you will work closely with the sales and delivery teams to provide trusted advisor-level consultancy to customers, building roadmaps, responding to RFIs/RFPs, and designing scalable IaaS, PaaS, and DaaS solutions that drive real business value.

• Lead the technical response to RFI and RFP opportunities
• Act as a trusted advisor to customers, providing expert guidance across hybrid cloud and XaaS strategies

• Stay current with emerging technologies, vendor offerings, and market trends

Ideal Experience

• Proven experience in a pre-sales or solution architecture role, ideally within an IT services or managed services provider environment

• Solid technical knowledge across major vendors such as VMware, NetApp, DellEMC, and Microsoft (or comparable technologies)
• Excellent communication, client engagement, and presentation skills
• Ability to translate business requirements into effective technical solutions
• Certifications from vendors such as VMware, Microsoft (Azure), NetApp, Cisco etc.
