Solutions Architect at Convey in Denver, CO
Job Description
Reports to: Director/Snr Director
The Solutions Architect serves as the strategic connective tissue between customers, Sales, Professional Services, Product Management, and Engineering.
This role is responsible for creating and maintaining the "steel thread" that connects customer challenges and market opportunities to product evolution and successful delivery outcomes. While supporting the sales process is an important component of the role, this position extends well beyond traditional pre-sales activities.
The ideal candidate brings together technical expertise, consultative problem-solving, business acumen, and a strong customer-first mindset to design solutions that address real-world challenges while influencing the future direction of the Convey platform. In this role, you will also help strengthen the capabilities and processes that enable our Pre-Sales Engineering and Professional Services teams to perform at their highest level. Working closely with both prospective and existing customers, you will gather and translate business requirements into scalable solutions, develop architecture and integration diagrams, create Statements of Work (SOWs) with clearly defined deliverables, guide implementation strategies and timelines, and ensure customer and field insights continuously inform product priorities and roadmap decisions.
What you’ll do:
Solution Design & Customer Advisory
Support discovery sessions with customers to understand business objectives, operational challenges, technical requirements, and success criteria, when required.
Design scalable, deliverable, and commercially viable solutions leveraging Convey's platform and services.
Facilitate architecture workshops, solution reviews, and technical validation
Translate business requirements into solution designs, implementation approaches, and technical specifications.
Identify product gaps and provide recommendations and estimates on LOE to remediate
Serve as a trusted advisor throughout the customer journey—from evaluation through deployment and expansion.
Field-to-Product Leadership
Act as the primary conduit between the field and Product Management, ensuring customer reality continuously shapes product direction.
Capture recurring customer needs, emerging market trends, competitive insights, and product enhancement opportunities from across the field.
Advocate for customer requirements while balancing platform scalability and strategic product direction.
Help Product and Engineering teams understand the operational realities and business drivers behind customer requests.
Maintain a continuous feedback loop that ensures customer insights directly influence product evolution.
Flag and document instances where internal product messaging is misaligned with actual product capabilities and work cross-functionality to correct them.
Solutioning Excellence
Enable the Professional Services team on pre-sales collaboration practices, including how to enter deals early, contribute to solution scoping, and take clean handoffs from Sales.
Build and document reusable solutioning assets (e.g., playbooks, discovery frameworks, integration pattern libraries, and SOW templates) that PSEs and PS can operate from independently.
Serve as a go-to resource and thought partner for PSEs on complex or high-stakes deals.
Sales Partnership & Opportunity Development
Partner closely with Sales and Customer Success teams on opportunities, providing advisory-level technical guidance.
Support solution positioning, technical validation.
Identify implementation risks, dependencies, and success factors early in the sales cycle.
Provide effort estimates, implementation recommendations, and scope guidance that improve win rates through realistic solution design.
Position Professional Services offerings that are prescriptive, repeatable and predictable.
Requirements Definition & SOW Development
Own the creation of technical requirements documents, solution blueprints, and Statements of Work.
Define project scope and timelines, assumptions, deliverables, success metrics, and implementation responsibilities.
Collaborate with Professional Services leaders to ensure solutions are executable, scalable, and aligned with delivery best practices.
Establish clear alignment between customer expectations and implementation outcomes.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner with Product, Engineering, Professional Services, Support, Customer Success, and Sales leaders.
Align stakeholders around solution direction, customer outcomes, and delivery expectations.
Support new product introductions, platform enhancements, and acquisition integrations.
