Job description

If you’re a Solution Architect, who thrives on learning, designing, debating, and above all, making a difference, then I dare you to read this and not be intrigued. At 5CA we’ve built a successful CX platform comprising best-in-breed SaaS services and underpinned by a solid Microsoft backend. The 5CA CX platform is our key enabler: consumer support (among other things) over any channel, in any language, at any time. Plus, we deliver extremely valuable BI back through the value chain to help create better products. Our platform must evolve, incorporating more AI, more Microsoft and offer more ways to innovate to make our vision of the future a reality. Do you want to take responsibility of this platform?

Consultative pre-Sales (20%)

  • Help Sales & Marketing generate new business by defining, at an architectural and design level, technical solutions that align the 5CA CX platform with our clients’ business problems.
  • Consult with Sales & Marketing to understand customer objectives and competitor offerings, converting this intel into experiments and prototypes that influence the CX platform roadmap.

Delivery (60%)

  • Transform innovation hypotheses into experiments, lead discovery, design and prototyping efforts to develop marketable new products.
  • Work closely with your IT colleagues (Infrastructure Architect, Application Leads, Data Analysts and Scientists) to compound the value of 5CA’s engineering capability we’re much greater than the sum of our parts!
  • Maintain the CX platform roadmap, continually seeking input from key stakeholders to help maintain 5CA’s competitiveness.
  • Assist delivery teams with resolving critical path technical challenges.

This is you:

  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience as a Solution Architect.

  • Experience in a professional services environment engaging with executive stakeholders, solution architects and extended stakeholder groups.
