The job market might have an element of uncertainty at the moment but the good news is that some companies are continuing to push forward and this business, and role would be a great example. This is a ring fenced, business critical role in the solutions group for one of the main ISP's and it's now that connectivity services are as critical as ever, this solutions architect role will be joining the national team as they drive through enterprise level and public sector LAN/WAN solutions. On that basis, are you someone that has a commercially savvy, telecoms solutions architecture background with a strong data connectivity bias and want to be based with a mixture of in office and from home, with a definite focus on the enterprise market? This role will allow you to be the guidance to the pre and post sales teams by way of large scale, complex bids and tenders alongside the technical transition of service away from previous providers into the companies award winning managed services portfolio - supporting qualification, design and eventual sale of a range of data network focused products and services. This tends to be enterprise level or large scale public sector solutions and we've got a couple of positions open along the M4 corridor and into London requiring commercial and customer savvy and that LAN/WAN / MPLS core background along with solid ability with SD-WAN. Who are you? Solutions architect background and we've seen the majority of the team have the blend of that senior level technical knowledge but also, many have been involved with pre-sales so that could be a potential background that would work well. As a Cisco Gold Partner, you'll likely come from that background (But equally happy to talk with Juniper focused SA's) and we would suggest the roles would suit a CCNP / CCDP calibre architect with in depth networking protocols - MPLS, VXLAN, BGP, OSPF, VPLS and QoS. We are thinking either an ISP or SI as the likely company you currently work for but we have flexibility on this and can keep an open mind. Key point is that the positions are not just technical and the involvement in and around pre-sales would be essential. The Company: Household name, and one of the key players in technology managed solutions. Cisco gold partner with a great track record for advancement, flexibility and making a great customer experience. Benefits package is flexible with bonus of upto 15% of salary, excellent pension scheme, private healthcare and a long list of other perks.
