As a Lead Services Solution Architect specializing in Networking solutions within the Solutions group, 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 navigate clients through modern network architectures while developing competitive business cases, cost estimates, and risk‑adjusted pricing strategies. In this role, you will lead technical discovery sessions to identify business drivers, technical requirements, environmental constraints, and operational dependencies, translating these findings 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.
