Position Overview: Services Solution Architect (Networking)

As a Services Solution Architect specializing in Networking, you will lead the development of enterprise networking services across campus and branch modernization, SD-WAN transformation, data center networking, wireless and secure access enablement, network management platforms, and lifecycle services. You will translate customer requirements into structured, delivery-ready networking solutions. You will independently guide clients through modern network architectures while developing competitive business cases, cost estimates, and risk-adjusted pricing strategies. This role requires leading technical discovery sessions to identify business drivers, technical requirements, environmental constraints, and operational dependencies, translating these into detailed scopes, activity-driven delivery plans, and commercial models. This role requires deep networking expertise and strong professional services discipline. As a senior individual contributor, you will serve as the deal "quarterback," owning solution development from discovery through final approval prior to submission. You will align architects, sales teams, and delivery stakeholders to a unified, executable solution, ensuring technical accuracy, scope clarity, and commercial viability.

• Risk & Deal Governance: Serve as the final solution authority prior to submission, ensuring scope clarity, delivery feasibility, and margin protection. Assess integration complexity, customer readiness, scale, and third-party dependencies, incorporating mitigation strategies and contingency into pricing and contractual language.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Build strong working relationships across sales, delivery, and services teams to ensure alignment and execution readiness within a centralized delivery model.
