Together with the team, you will define solutions and support each integration through to a successful finish.

As a Solution Architect in the internal enablement team you define best practices and tools for the delivery teams and act as an advisor to the teams, as well as contribute to the lifecycle management of the solutions delivered. You also work closely with the product development teams and may work with sales.

You will be encouraged to use your own strengths and interests to take on a variety of responsibilities. These may include:
