Lead Cloud Solution Architect- Data Owner

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience designing and delivering cloud data architecture on one or more major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric), giving you the judgment to distinguish a sound technical concept from a flawed one
• Led design and delivery of enterprise scale data platforms in production, with the credibility to earn the trust of engineers and delivery teams
• Has led a pre-sales pursuit end to end: worked with a client on a complex or ambiguous problem to define the solution, developed the LOE, proposal, and SOW, and won the work
• Demonstrated ownership of a data solution or offering, including moving it from idea to sellable and building the technical content needed to support it
• Demonstrated experience transforming and migrating data from legacy and source systems into modern cloud data platforms, including the patterns, tooling, and pitfalls involved
• Ability to read, understand, and help validate reference architectures and delivery playbooks created by others
• Real consulting experience in a consulting or professional services firm, packaging and selling technical offerings to enterprise clients
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business, or equivalent practical experience
• Excellent executive communication skills, equally credible presenting business strategy to leadership and technical rationale to engineers

Preferred Skills

• Prior experience advising C level executives (CIO, CDO, CTO) on cloud data strategy or data governance
• Relevant certifications across AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks, or Snowflake
• Familiarity with low/no code data tooling such as Apache NiFi, Informatica, and AWS Glue
• Understanding of why data is essential to AI workloads, including data quality, governance, lineage, and pipeline readiness (hands on experience building AI solutions is not expected)
• Experience partnering with business development or alliance teams on hyperscaler or ISV co investment programs

What Success Looks Like in Year One

• The Cloud Data solution area is built out as a defined portfolio with a clear roadmap, positioning, and packaging, and at least one new solution has moved from idea to sellable, revenue generating offering
• Growth in Cloud Data engagements is accelerating: pipeline, win rate, and bookings are measurably ahead of target
• Profitability of data engagements has improved through consistent pricing, SOW/LOE templates, and scope frameworks, with margin tracked and trending up against target
• The Cloud Data solution area and the data delivery team operate as one: a shared roadmap, joint scoping and estimating, reference architectures and delivery playbooks validated against what is sold, and delivery risks caught early
• Sales enablement materials measurably reduce presales cycle time and reduce dependency on this role for individual pursuits
• Partner co investment funding is secured and deployed against enablement or demand generation
• Technical sales support and deal review board involvement have directly influenced at least one marquee win and caught at least one delivery risk early on a strategic engagement
